Target approved

Approved online for 1,700

Was going to just do the debit card but I hate things being linked to my deposit accounts

Re: Target approved

Congrats to you on your very awesome approval!  I, too, am very leary about linking certain cards to my deposit accounts.  When Target was hacked a couple of years ago, during holiday shopping, my account was compromised.  Closed my card, and have not considered reopening another one.  Enjoy your card, and the very nice SL!  Smiley Happy

Congrats on approval!   It's definitely a useful card for the 5% discount and free S&H on target.com.   I agree with not having a debit card directly linked to your bank account; added security is a big benefit of credit cards.
