Target Red Card (Approval)

I originally had a red card issued back in 1998 with a $300 limit, never could get a CLI.

 

In February 2012 I defaulted on the card and it charged off. As I've mentioned in other post's I settled for less than owed in 2018 (and it was removed from my reports 60 days later).

 

I have applied for this card several times since settling, as recently as January 2020 all denied for "Number of inquiries" and "Number of recently opened accounts".

 

Last night I tried again, definitely haven't allowed enough time for my inquiry count to change much if any at all. To my surprise, instant approval for $500 and it gave me my card number so I could add it to my shopping cart right away. Appears they pulled Equifax.

I shop at Target regularly and the 5% off and free 2 day shipping (with Red Card) is nice.
