No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
So I'm coming to you guys ultra excited and even more so humble.
NOW ABOUT THE APPROVAL
Just like what most people posted, I kept getting preapproved emails from VS about their angel card.
Now, I actually use to have their card when I first joined the Army (I was a VS Forever member with a 1500-2500 CL in their store)
At that time before I knew what credit was, I think I was approved a 500-750 CL and I just kept asking for CLI's through their app until it raised; took about two years I think can't recall it's been so long.
Anyways I thought because I already had their card before and it had been sent to collections and closed;
plus the fact that my credit score TU is 555 EQ is 558 there was no way I would be able to get this card.
I googled about it and MYFICO forum popped up talking about the Shopping Cart Trick, and I just went for it.
I WAS APPROVED A 250 LIMIT!!!!!
I know it's not much, but coming from somebody who hasn't had a real credit card since 2015 I'm beyond happy.
Even though the card hasn't populated on my VS account (I didn't use it in the cart) I called to verified and they made it clear to me that I really got a 250 limit VS Angel Card coming in the mail soon.
Every time I do prequalifying checks, I'm always told only secured, or no options so to be able to, at last, have a credit card again feels good.
I'm hoping after three months of using and paying it off maybe I can ask for a CLI(?).
I am getting a secured card after I pay off the only credit card I have in hopes that will also help me build up my credit.
If anyone has any tips or anything about growing my credit; or helping raise my score or get other good CCs it will be greatly appreciated!!
