What’s with the shopping cart trick?

I was not previously aware, and probably never cared because I had crap credit. Still not perfect but shopping on Victoria's Secret last night and when I went to check out it said I was preappoved for their credit card. All I bought was some body products. I didn't bother taking the card, I'm not a big fan of Comenity or store cards in general. Shocked to see a pre approval though. I got NFCU, Discover and Amex Blue Cash in the past month, so I wouldn't take it right now even if I actually wanted it, but nice to see.

Re: What’s with the shopping cart trick?

I got some updates. 

 

My Appliances Connection card got here in the mail, and I pressed the LUV button and they gave me a CLI of $800. So I went from $3k to $3.8k on that card! Not bad. 

Turns out even though I didn't get an approval message online, I was approved for the NY and Company card as well. It's only $500, but I'm sure I can give a CLI button a try on that in a few months. 

 

As for other people in my family, my mom got a Williams Sonoma card and got a CLI from just $500 to $2000. I'll edit this post with even more updates later. 

Tradelines: Macy’s - $18k, Penfed Power Cash Rewards - $10k, Ethan Allen (TD Bank) - $5.7k, Kay Jewelers - $5.5k, Appliances Connection - $5.3k, Jared - $5.25k, Best Buy (Citi) - $5k, Dell Preferred Account - $3.5k, Samsung - $3.2k, Firestone CFNA - $3.2k, Capital One Platinum - $3k, Mercury MC - $2.25k, Williams Sonoma - $2.1k, Wayfair (Fortiva) - $2k, Amazon Store Card - $1.8k, Apple Card - $1.7k, NFCU cashRewards - $1.5k, CareCredit - $1.5k, B&H Photo - $1.5k, Adorama - $1.25k, Ebay MC - $1k, Sam’s Club MC - $1k, American Eagle - $1k, Ollo MC - $600, Mission Lane Visa - $500, NY & Company - $500, Walgreens - $500, Home Depot - $500, Target RED Card - $500, CapOne Secured MC 0 AF - $500, Penfed Overdraft LOC - $500

Re: The Newest SP SCT Alive Again?

I know i'm supposed to be gardening but these SCTs looked attractive. I tried most from the list but I could only get Express and Appliances Connection to pop-up. Appliances Connection originally showed me that I pre-qualified for $4,500 but when I took the offer it went down to $2,700. No HPs yet and no emails too which is kind of weird. I really wanted the Overstock card. Long ago I cold apped for it and got denied LUL.

Re: The Newest SP SCT Alive Again?

Does the SCT work if your credit file is frozen since it's a soft pull? All three of my reports have a security freeze.

Re: The Newest SP SCT Alive Again?

If they are simply frozen, they can still do a soft pull.  However, if you have them locked (only available through a subscription), then they need to be unlocked first.
