Nordstrom Visa Signature - Can now apply online

I was browsing through the nordstrom credit card page and it says that we can now apply for the visa signature online. Has anyone done this yet? I heard the chances of getting approved is better in person.

I'm baffled why an in-person app is more likely to be approved since no one in the stores have any input on decisioning?

For those that carry a balance, the APR is 4% higher for non-Nordstrom purchases and I don't recall which version of Ex they use or, if it's their own variant.

It's easier to get an in-store approval due to verification. It seems like Nordstrom is picky and it's a bit harder to get an online instant approval.

They triple pulled me in January in store and put me through verification. The cashier entered my address wrong, but if the online option had been available to me then I would have just gone that route then going into the store to apply.

Re: Nordstrom Visa Signature - Can now apply online

Anyone know which Ex version they pull?

I looked at the online app after signing in to my store account, it looks like an abbreviated app BUT, it appears to be a generic app for store/Visa card? Seems odd if you already have a store card

@Anonymous DARE THEY!! Smiley Surprised  I just app'd for this card 4/16/15 online, since I was too lazy to drive to their closest store for the VISA.  I realize they only offered the store card via the online application at the time, but only 3 weeks later and now you can app online for either. Smiley Mad      I got instantly approved for the store card $1500 @ 14.9.  It was a HP on EX.

 

Oh yeah.....and don't forget -- ****
