HSN Shopping Cart trick

I saw HSN on the list of Shopping Cart trick stores and decided to give it a try shortly before the holidays.  I found something I liked, started the checkout process and BAM, the pop up window appeared and I was approved  for $2,000.  Plus I got $20 off my first purchase.  (a $79 item).   After the item arrived about 10 days later I saw it was selling for $59, so I called and the outstandind friendly customer service at HSN eagerly credited me the difference. 

 

Not sure how much I'll use the card as I find their prices kinda high, but $2000 of new credit without a HP is really sweet!

Hey OP. Nice!

I have had great luck with up to 5 preapprovals like that with limits ranging from 500 - 1000 between comenity & gecrb, but yet to reel in an HSN. I like their variety much better then my ShopHQ and why i been occasionally revisiting HSN to see if i get lucky with them. lol

Congrats on really nice soft approval!

No it was their regular card, which is fine.  I was just shocked at the CL.  I think my EQ is 738.
