Hmm. Maybe they'd feel insecure sitting in the same wallet/drawer as your other cards.

I have a target 1/2 mile down the road so I stop there almost every day for various items. In any case, I figured I might as well save 5% every time so I applied while in line last night. The cashier said I would receive my card in 7-10 days and handed me the printout. I noticed it said "further review," so I called only to find out I was denied for too many inquiries?! Including Target, I have 5 on EQ, no negatives and 800+ ficos. I was livid at the time, but have since calmed down to come and ask - is there anything I can do? The only reason for denial was the inquiries, so I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to recon? Thanks!

Now, this is quite shocking to say the least.  With the exemplary account collection, scores and everything in your portfolio?  Well, I suppose we're dealing with TD Bank anyways.   Now, I don't know what would have been worse, say approved for $500 (maybe even higher with your excpetional profile) or being declined altogether.  If it were me, I'd prefer being declined Smiley Tongue

 

Sorry to hear about the experience.  I'd gladly trade you my Target Visa for one of your beauties, like the JPM Select Smiley Wink

Wow I would be a bit upset to OP..  5 EQ inquiries and scores in the 800's and they turned you down.. What is TD Bank smoking?


Personally i think they are ultra conservative. in 2013. i got a td bank card. extra reward. not sure how. but it had a $500 limit. canceled it after a year. 1 percent across the board .

I was actually expecting the $500 limit, so that would not have been that big of a surprise, however, I am now over it - Thanks for the offer though, Fin Smiley Wink

Re: Denied for Target card...

When I first applied to Target I was denied too for "too many inquiries," I called CS and the rep said that one cannot have more than 5  (or 7) inquiries within a 6 month period. So I waited then applied again and got instantly approved. They pull EQ.
