Nordstrom CEO Recon

[Anf_dude]

I Remember Nordstom Denied Me For Their DEBIT Card. I Was Shocked, Really. She Input My Birthdate Wrong Though. Could That Have Been It.? I Didn't Bother. This Was A Few Months Ago.

I know how you feel. I was denied for the Nordstrom DEBIT card because I was "at high risk of fraud". Makes absolutely no sense.

So just when I was about to call, I checked my email and sure enough, the President of Nordstrom Credit Services emailed me:

Dear Mr.. Brown,

Blake Nordstrom forwarded your request to review your recent application for a Nordstrom Card, and I’m happy to help!  If you could provide your billing address and phone number, I’ll be able to locate your online application.

I look forward to working with you,

AB

Is Nordstrom still one of those white whale cards people go crazy for?

I had success with a Nordstrom recon after getting denied for too many inquiries. Thread here: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Nordstrom-Recon-Experience/m-p/2243649

Well now the President of Credit Services now wants me to go into the store with my DL, utility bill, and car loan statement. Do you think I'll be approved?

Seems like a lot of work to say no.

I remember being on another site and people had to have the Nordstrom Siggie Visa. Not a place I shop but they swore it was one of the I've arrived cards, LOL!

They want to verify your identity.  Your CR's has a FA and they had instances of multiples apps in your name- without these issues Nordstrom has always been a stickler on id verification.

I keep FA's on my CRA's all year long, and even with the FA if a company wanted to deny me they would not bother with ID verification. I agree that it seems like way too much work to deny me.
