Congrats on your approval.  Please don't become addicted to Comenity, they can be your worse nightmare. Search on this site about Comenity closing accounts.

Shawndoe79 I hear you, to get a card and no HP is tempting.  Last year I opened Overton MasterCard and it was a soft pull and the APR is 16.9....even better is Red Roof Inn Visa at 13.9 apr.   that is a hard pull.  I have never stay at a Red Roof Inn and won't use the perks, but the interest rate is so great, that if I have to carry a balance, the that's my go to card, lol!  I've closed 11 Comenity accounts with only a few left now.  So if Comenity goes crazy again, it won't really impact me.

 

 It was just shocking to me that Comenity started closing accounts after approving them for no other reason then you have too many inquiries.  My thoughts are when you do the soft pull or hard one, why didn't you see that and decline the app...you approve the card, allow usage for months with great customers and one day you sign on to your accounts and they are all closed!!!  Sometimes when it sounds to good to be true, it is, lol!    Just wanted you to be aware of them and you are! Best wishes.

Re: I might be addicted to SCT

I just got 3 cards with Comenity myself a couple days ago.  Low limits of course which I don't understand because my scores are above 650.  Anyway, I wish I had researched better than I did, the thought of closing accounts scares me seeing how I don't want scores to go down.  On average how many point do a person lose when an account is closed?
