SHOPPING CART TRICK TOO EASY!!!

 

I recently did the research for the shopping cart trick. For best results, you must:

  • know your current address that is listed primarily from Equifax and Experian (TU is not much needed)
  • have atleast 3 different web browsers (i.e. FireFox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer newest version 11.0.96 is what I used for all apps) the reason being if one browser does not work after a few tries, just switch to another browser
  • MUST MUST MUST have pop-up blockers disabled
  • NOT be frozen out of EQ or EX
  • delete browser cookies and clear cache frequently
  • be opted IN prescreens @ https://www.optoutprescreen.com

 

The available store cards this PreApproval works with so far are: (NOT the most updated list)

Simply throw some junk in the cart and click checkout, input your information as it looks on your credit report EX or EQ, a popup screen should appear with a preapproval stamp before payment information is required. I was approved for 5 cards in one night instantly, Buckle, VS, Overstock, HSN and J. Crew. Not a set number of items or total price to put in cart I have discovered yet. Happy Rebuilding!

Just also bear in mind that this quickly kills AAoA, oftern for very small CLs.   See many posts from here of people regretting overuse of the shopping cart trick.

in another thread i wrote that this is not an good way to rebuild credit. I think most of the people who are doing this are rebuilding credit all the new TL really defeats the purpose because AAoA will be shredded and the cards you get are pretty useless imo.

Re: SHOPPING CART TRICK TOO EASY!!!

well we already have an official thread for Comenity backed cards and this list is terribly outdated not to mention most of these can not actually be obtained via the shopping cart trick.

I never had the sense to apply for the ones that came without a hard inquiry. I was seduced by a 20% off offer. I never said that I had high self worth.
