Just wanted to share with you my findings.  William-Sonoma has a Visa Card backed by Barclays.  You can check if you qualify by trying the shopping cart trick.  I entered a small item in the shopping cart and then checked out.  I unfortunately did not qualify, but my hustand did.  I took a screen shot of both siutations so you can see the difference.  When my husband checked out,  it gave him the Congratulations message.  When I tried checking out the item, it just gave me a message to Apply for the card.  I do not know if either way is a soft pull or a hard pull, but at least you can tell if you do prequalify for the card before applying.

 

Hope this is valuable information for someone.

Re: William Sonoma Shopping Cart Trick

pre-qualify is different than pre-approval. You entered basic info, so to apply you have to complete the rest.

No matter what. You will have to apply. But knowing you are most likely approved is better. Nothing is ever guaranteed

Re: William Sonoma Shopping Cart Trick

Update ! So I got the email that I was approved today so it wasnt a wasted hard pull !! Barclays has been funny with me , they denied me for the apple store credit card a few months ago but approved me for the William Sonoma Visa ! I dont know my credit limit yet ...
