Comenity - How Many Inq is Too Many?

Anyone know how many inq is too many? CA, do you know? I have 4 on EQ and was thinking about trying for the $49 AF Virgin America card. I was approved for the $149 AF version a few days ago.

Re: Comenity - How Many Inq is Too Many?

I remember you saying earlier that Virgin America card can be inquiry sensitive and that they don't like more than 3 recent inquiries or something like that. That's why I've been so hesitant to try the card again.

Its weird with the application, both links seem to generate the same page. Even the terms and conditions refer to both cards.

Cast your fate to the wind and clcik submit!   If you get approved for the 2nd one, great!  If not, well at least you know what to expect from Comenity.

It identified me as an existing cardholder. I tried incognito too. Comenity computers seem more advanced than I thought.

Re: Comenity - How Many Inq is Too Many?

I went for the $149 version a few hours ago.

 

Same 7-10 message crap as last time. Took one for the team though.

 

This card I'm gonna be trying again in the future.
