Target seems to get varying posts on their cards. Could be doing you a favor

What do u mean? I also I applied for a Walmart credit card today do u think I'll get denied? Is there any number I can call so I can get approved? Thanks for all your help

Do you have a credit score yet / any credit at all? If not, you might need a secured card or a secured loan backed by savings......or, have a family member put you on a card as an authorized user to help you gain a credit score. You could also research the Capital One builder program.

Right now the only credit file you're building is inquiries. (negative)

Do what Arlo said. I put my Daughters on my cards as AU's and they got 2k limits when they apped 8 months later

U are going about this wrong u have no credit its highly unlikely u will get unsecured credit right out the gate secured cards will be your best friend focus on them.

If the Target RedCard was auto-declined, the decision cannot be reconsidered.  Depending on the outcome of the Walmart application, if the same thing yields, SYNCB will not reconsider (unless declined for verification).  There's some decent advice provided that can help you eventually build your profile when first starting out.  These forums provide a wealth of information OP.
