Re: Wayfair, They Got Just What My Wife Needs

It does grow, mine started at around $1500 (I think? maybe even less) opened 11/16 and today it's $20,200.  All SP except for the last time (grrrrr).  Wayfair does have great deals if you compare, the customer service is AWESOME, and the 0% financing is nice too when working on a large project if need be.

^^^ she makes a good point I should have mentioned earlier @Brian_Earl_Spilner . The 0% financing deals are nice for bigger purchases for sure. I'm using one now on a new living room setup. And congrats on the instant CLI too Smiley Happy

Re: Wayfair, They Got Just What My Wife Needs

I just got approved for mine today...starting limit of $750K.  I'll try hitting hitting the love button once my info comes in the mail and I can get online access.  Still in shock.  Comenity is apparently very forgiving aaaannnddd....it was a soft pull since I did it through the pre-qualifier!

Starting Scores (9/19): EQ - 474/TU - 528/EX - 502
Current Scores (09/22): EQ - 617- TU - 638/EX - 647
Comenity M/C - $6730.00, BJs Perks MC - $2800.00, Credit One - $1200.00, Credit One - $800.00, NFCU -$6300.00, Care Credit - $5000.00, William Sonoma - $3500.00, Overstock - $4100.00, Pottery Barn - $2000.00>

So, my wife wanted to buy stuff from Wayfair, but she couldn't get approved for a card, so she asked me to apply for one. I was like, "look, girl-bro, I just got approved for two Amex and I got my sights set on the Bonvoy. Why you trying to trip me up? I need to finish hitting spend, use one of those two." Then she tells me she's gonna pay it off in payments and I say, "the FICO you are, what part of BONVOY didn't you understand? PIF or kick rocks." I'm sure by now some of you are 😒 me, but we keep our finances separate because she likes minimum payments and I ain't about that life.

 

She asks me again and I remind her that I burned them before which resulted in getting sued by PRA. Comenity hasn't approved, pre-qualified, or shopping carted me in 4 years. There's no way they'll approve me. I ran the pre-qual cause why the FICO not? It won't hurt me and she'll see I won't be approved.

 

I was pre-approved.

 

At this point my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. Thought I cut my fingers on the broken screen protector, but it was mom's spaghetti. There was no pre-approved limit stated anywhere and I figured it would be another $300 low limit banger, but it came back for $1k. And all I was thinking was 'dang. There goes my utilization.'

 

We made an agreement that she could use it, but it had to stay under 30% at all times. Guess how much that first purchase was. I got in that shopping cart and started hitting delete like it was a punching bag. Took advantage of the $50 for first purchase over $250 and got it just under 30%.

 

Today I got my "card" and learned it also works at Joss & Main, ALLMODERN, Birch Lane, and PERIGOLD. I also learned it wasn't a card, more like a credit program. I guess I'm supposed to write down my card number somewhere because this is what I got:

How am I supposed to flex that in my wallet? Stick it between my metal cards? Shoot.

 

Datapoints

 

I don't know. I haven't paid attention in a couple months because I'm focused on paying off and removing collections. There's 5 of those.

 

EDIT: just realized and wanted to add, after doing the prequal, it was a SP to open. It's been a week and I haven't received a HP yet.

 

Also, I requested a CLI and they upped me to $1800.



You ain't never suppose to show it, your crew ain't suppose to know it
Even if it means going toe to toe with Comenity, it don't matter

 

Wait... where was I going with that?   Belated congratulations on "your" new Wayfair and CLI!
