Paypal, Wayfair, and Overstock Approvals!

A couple weeks ago, I app'd for Paypal Credit and was approved for $2900.  I liked that it's a hidden tradeline, but since I'm rebuilding and have a somewhat thin file, I wanted a couple more accounts that would report for me.  I tried the shopping cart trick a little while ago on Overstock and Wayfair.  Got approved for $3000 on both!  It feels weird to actually get approved for something after being used to having bad credit and never bothering to app for anything because I already knew it was going to be a denial.

Re: Paypal, Wayfair, and Overstock Approvals!

Congrats and get use to it for all your hard work (approved)

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
