Below is an older thread from a few years ago which is still relevant to some of the steps, just keep in mind that YEMV.  The most recent DP to the SCT (or if applying directly for Comenity CCs) is to ensure SageStream/Innovis is unfrozen or it could potentially deny the application.

I'd never even heard of SageStream so I would hope it is not frozen. Thank you.

Re: The SP SCT Alive Again? DP Please.

Does anyone know if Comenity "blackballs" people whose cards they closed last year? Is there any point in trying for a card with a different store? Thanks. (I can't get rid of this extra junk with my phone)

@Dirge  - did you mean, "blacklists"?  As in not being able to obtain any other cards from them?  

 

I think you should be fine with getting one or maybe two, but definitely space them out and try not to gorge on so many of them. Also, try to remain application-free for a while after obtaining any of them since Comenity tends to monitor things after the fact. Which card are you thinking of getting?

 

When did they close them and how many did they close?  Did they provide the reason?

I dealt with and had plenty of my share of Comenity Cards both Visa, MC, and even Discover as well as Store Brands. And i can 1001% attest to the FACT that Comenity will shoot an app down even if with a preapproval CITING SAGESTREAM and will waste your Inquiry ON THAT ALONE.

 

I found out the hard way recently when trying for IKEA Cards. Took 2 wasted HP's, NOT on anything with my profile or FICO Score but their lack of informing cardholders in advance that they were instituting that change in their card approval policy.

Re: The SP SCT Alive Again? DP Please.

I did mean blacklist, thank you, @FinStar. Comenity closed two my cards with zero balances back in April in their purge, and my EX score went down 29 points just on that, over 3 months. I brought it up 19 points (over the  next 3 months) by getting a Discover secured card, but my Fico scores on various sites keep mentioning that my lower score is from only having one (now, two) credit cards, so I'm wondering if it would help to try the SCT again on another Comenity card. 

 

Thanks for your answer. 

 

eta  I'm thinking of getting  the Williams-Sonoma store card, since I've bought from them before.

Approved for the Ann Taylor ALL Rewards Credit Card with SP SCT.

 

Not sure if I needed to post here as well since I already posted in the approval thread.  Nonetheless, thought it may help.

Thank you @GApeachy !  I'm not familiar with all of the MyFico rules, so I didn't want to double post.

I'm already looking forward to receiving my first shipment!
