I applied online the other day, called and was told my application was denied..you know the 7-10 day letter with the reasons why. So for some reason that didn't sit well with me since I never received a notification that I had an inquiry pull. I called a few minutes ago through the regular toll-free number, pressed the option for the credit department, and was connected with a nice lady. I asked if she can check the status of my application. She placed me on hold and then came back to say she is reopening my application it will be a few moments more. She came back and asked if there was anything on my credit that she needed to be aware of? I only address all the positive stuff like the last 10 months of on time payments, and all of my revolving accounts that are in good standing. I have two accounts that have a high balance but gradually paying them down, 2 collection accounts and one charge off from 3 yrs ago. After feeling like I was interrogated, I knew I had a chance with approval because you wouldn't be asked questions like that if you were denied...lol. Long story short she came back to the phone and said: "I have an offer on the Nordstrom store card in the amount of $1,000 SL"..!! It may not be a lot to some but this is my highest SL so far and coming from where I was just less than a year ago, I couldn't get a hamburger on credit...hehehe. I shop here at least every two weeks so hopefully this card will grow and come to great use.
My current scores:
EQ - 609
TU - 611
EX - 623
Every step even a small one starting up is a good one that leads to more.
Big Congratulations on your "approval" and the effort to try again
Congratz!
Remember after your 7th billing cycle you can call in and request a CLI, Nordstrom will only do CLI's via soft pull. Then every 4 months after that.
I started out 18 months ago with a $1500 credit line at the Tier IV interest rate. Fast forward to a couple months ago and I have been steadily growing my credit lines to what is now $15,000 with them at Tier I.
Congratulations!!!! I worked at Nordstrom. Great company and great card.

what if I receive an auto CLI. Can I still receive another CLI?
That's awesome. Congrats to you!!
Congrats!
Received an automatic increase of 200 before my 5th statement generated this month. I am not sure how they review CLI but happy to receive this one. Hopefully I can get another one within the next few months.
