IKEA VISA approval

I have been trying to outfit our new house...gave most of our old furniture to GoodWill or the kids took it for their college apartments, so we had to furnish pretty much a whole house.  I found myself at IKEA, and they had friendly young people working an in-store kiosk with credit card offers.  I had found a couple of dressers, and figured, what the heck, let's take a shot.  The offer was $25 off the first order and free shipping through the nd of August.  They have the world's dumbest cash-back deal, with really short times before it expires, but the kid at the kiosk suggested buying gift cards with it, since they don't expire.  Anyway, got on my phone, did an app, instant $6000 approval. 

 

The poor woman working the checkout had never tried to manually enter a newly-minted IKEA CC #, so a manager had to be called, but it all went smoothly after that. 

 

I can't tell you how sore my back is from kneeling on the floor, assembling dressers...

Congrats at being the first to post the new IKEA Visa approval. If it's not, it's the first one I've seen.

Frankly it's not the most useful card in the world, beyond the fact that we'll surely be spending money at IKEA over the next couple of months and might as well get discounts.

Gold Star or Dixie Chili...Gold Star grates their cheese differently than Skyline, and Dixie's reddish chili is really tasty too.

Re: IKEA VISA approval

Congrats! I was at Ikea today and checked out the ad for the Visa. Was definitely tempted.. have 4 comenity cards already so figured I might get an approval but I couldn't do it. Trying hard to stay in the garden and let these accounts age.

What were your scores for approval? Any idea who they pulled?

Congrats!  Never been inside IKEA but I haven't heard anything but good things about them.

 

Nothing worse than a furniture store like Ashley where they make you wait weeks on your purchase (as they build it) because they don't want a lot of unsold inventory.
