Thank you. I'm just happy I got something from the hard inq. I'll be happy if it grows slowly and steadily along with my Sportsman's Guide Visa, which I use a lot. Those 4 pay offers at Sportsman's guide sure are tempting.
I know Comenity is more picky with their Visa offerings than the store cards. I do have one more Comenity card that I forgot to mention: The defunct Wayfair card that got converted to a generic Visa @ $2.5k. I need to pull it out of the sock drawer and put a phone bill or something on it so it will show some use. I haven't used it much since the interest rate is so high. Maybe they were just nervous about giving me a 3rd Visa?

Yes you can.
Goody's left town 20 yrs ago and that was that. It took Comenity years to close mine. I forgot about it until I joined mf and other cra's a few yrs. ago and there it was. It just fell off recently.

It should be a MasterCard btw. Some folks were converted to their in-house MC, others went to Citi Retail (MC). And, some, unfortunately had their store accounts closed.
I currently have 4 major CCs with them (used to be more), and it's been no issue so far - knock on wood! That said, it's a challenge at times deciding which Comenity card to apply for since a variety of them have gone the way of the dodo bird - extinct. Several retail partners have recently either gone belly up or no longer renewed contracts with Comenity and so their card programs went *poof*.
Comenity is still an odd I can't figure out. The reason I say is some people with better than can't even get a card with them, while I have 3 store cards and 5 Store branded Visas them.

I don't think so because I was just able to get one at Appliance connection with a $3k SL.

Comenity is interesting indeed!
I started with them over 4 years ago with Virgin Airlines VISA which was a short lived love affair after they sold out to Alaska Airlines...
Then very recently with Comenity, I had 2 SCT popups: Sportsmans Guide VISA and Caesars Total Rewards VISA.
I took the SG VISA with only a SP at $7,500 SL as I shop for outdoors, camping and hunting equipment.
I am still thinking about Caesar's TR VISA but haven't got the nerve to make a trip to Vegas soon....
Glad you got the TR pop-up. I'm waiting for my EQ to update then I will submit my application.
If you do, sending good vibes for high SL.
Maybe I'm doing the SCT wrong, but I put a couple items (worth $3K) in cart at Williams Sonoma, went through checkout as guest, filled shipping info, got a box saying preapproved, and "accept" button. This was not a pop-up, but inline on the page.
Anyway, had to enter full SS. Got a HP on EQ immediately. Granted $3500 CL (EQ VS3 was 793 (which immediately took 5pt hit), not sure about other scores, AAoC is 5y7m).
i got approved for the Appliance connection card for $3k with the pop up and soft pull. I also had to give it a few days before these would show up cause i had opted out of prescreened offers last year and had to sign back up for them. Very easy to get. I had a bunch of other popups for Comenity cards but I'm passing on most of those. Any other ones worth possibly getting in terms of long-term growth? I already have Kay Jewelers and Jared as well from them. My Williams Sonoma card is the lowest limit I got from them at only $600 and I got that one last summer.
Edit: I also got the pop up for New York and Company, accepted it, but did not get an approval status. Weird.

Since I completed that program, I've gotten pop ups for:
VS $1000 (didn't accept)
WS Store Card $1000 (didn't accept)
J Crew $500 (Didn't accept)
Good Camping Store Card $1500 (accepted) SP
OS $1500 (accepted) SP
Pottery Barn $2500 (accepted) SP
Grandin Road $2000 (accepted) SP
LOFT All Rewards MC $2000 (accepted) SP

Where are you seeing your credit limits BEFORE you accept/don't accept?
