Vitacost Discontinued!

B335is — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 20:30:35 GMT

Just opened my mail and Comenity says effective July 20, 2014 the Vitacost card will be discontinued. A few weeks ago it disappeared from Vitacost homepage I guess that was the sign. Anybody else get the letter?

and here I just placed an order from Vitacost this morning for 108.53 with a coupon of $15 off of 100. I did use my Ebates Visa Sig for 7% back.

Although, it was a SP, I'm sure it affected my AAoA. They should probably refund us the "hit" we took to open the card since July 20 makes it look like I opened a card in Feb and then closed it in July

Yeah I'm glad I got my $30 bonus for $1k spend on it and paid already. It's too bad, I like the card.

I got $40 bucks back for a 500 spend in 60 days through Bradsdeals.com when I opened mine

Well done! I got a free can of Bullknox with mine so it wasn't a total waste.

I wonder what happened with the card program though.

The letter just says acct will be closed and goes into some detail about how balances will be handled. I'm going to call backdoor number now and ask anyways!

ETA: Nope, no PC the CSR said the pogram is discontinued with Vitacost and folks will just have to apply for something else if they want it.

Really wanted this card.......

Seems like every time some card like this comes along with larger CLs upon initial approval.. the card is either discontinued or randomly removes people now. Weird. One would think they would just be smart and give CLs that are not too overly generous.

Maybe the two aren't related.

I noticed all references to this card having been removed from thier website on 6/2 and started a thread here about it. I'm very suprised they did not offer a product change.

One day there's a CC, the next day it's gone. Not cool at all. I almost went for this one 3 months back, glad I didn't now. How does it look on a CR when this happens? Closed by creditor or something else?

Yeah I was using Vitacost quite a bit, but their prices seem to be slowly crawling up. They still don't charge me sales tax though

I've been bad, I was in the garden for 30 days and then I decided I wanted another Alaska Airlines card tonight. Oh well, it's a 1 for 1 swap
