Kohls Pre Approval HP 1
On 3/26 I was pre approved for Overstock using the sct. I hadn't set out to get that card and only put one item worth about $550.00 in the cart. I've been wanting the Cricut machine baaad. They approved me for $350.00! How insulting!! So I didn't get the machine from Overstock but it was a blessing in disguise because I ended up purchasing it for $175 less on sale from a different store. At the time of that app, I had two other Comenity cards with a 0 balance (Express, just increased from $350 to $750 and Venus just increased from $500 to $850). I'm seriously considering getting rid of both. I liked Express but the store near my house just closed so it's inconvenient for me to return online orders now. Anyway that low sl from Overstock prompted me to try the sct with Wayfair. I added about 2k worth of items to my cart and was pre approved then approved for $3500. I'm going to cancel that Overstock if they don't give me a respectable cl within a month. So far no HP. Fico Equifax 697, Experian 724, Transunion, 726. My highest limit is with Quick Silver at $7k and my lowest is with Credit One at $700 (after almost 2 yrs). I'm getting rid of Credit One too as soon as I get that $7k utilization down to 6%, currently at 20%. Bk filed 5/2018, dc 9/2018.

When you get your Overstock paper card in the mail to setup your online acct immediately request a cli.....you may be surprised. Congrats on both pickups, they do grow so give them some time, esp. Overstock.

I am with you on being offered less than the items in the cart! I sort of feel after getting 2 Comenity card via SCT that actually having less $ in items in the cart mean a larger SL. Just IMHO! I had <$100 in my cart for VS and was "pre-approved" via the pop up for $250. When I entered my info (SP) I was given a $1k SL! Then another day when I was *actually* going to buy an espresso machine on WS, I got the pop-up of "pre-approved" for $500. The espresso machine I had in my cart was $322 or something. After entering info (SP), it gave me a SL of $250! Even with the 20% discount, it still was not under $250! It also was a blessing in disguise because WS/Comenity reported to the 3Bs on the day of approval! It would have made me very sad to have my very first reporting card in over a decade to show as maxxed out! So, my overall feel is less is more in terms of getting higher SLs on the SCT cards. I could totally be wrong (my theory about certain states requiring HPs was certainly wrong), but could be a thing 🤷♀️ It certainly seemed to work with Wayfair for you, so again, maybe it depends on other factors or which store is offering the SCT...You certainly have better score than me, tho!
Note: I already gave these DPs for the SPs, so no need to add them to the list, as you already have 🙂
Ok, I will.
Thanks.

I get the Wayfair offer everytime I fill a shopping cart, just not interested. Is there a progression of sites/cards I should be sampling the SCT with to determine my value to Comenity?
I got the WS visa though the sct but when I tried for a cli they shot me down with the no mortgage excuse. One month later they offer me good sam, sportsman's guide and today they offered up land's end. Comenity is so weird with what they want to offer you at any given time.

Another SP datapoint on Overstock's Store Card
Performed the SCT and received the pre-approved pop-up. Went through the application and was approved for an LOC of $2400 w/ a Soft-Pull.
Had some trepidation with having to enter my full SS# during the app, but I indeed received a notice regarding the SP on Experian and no HP. So pretty glad about that.

May I ask which service gives SP notices? Thank you!
