Hi, PJ! How's it going in the high 700's club?
For electronics, the BB store card (HSBC) is popular. Make sure that they don't give you the MC. I read that you should app over the phone or at the store to get the store version. My son got one at Thanksgiving with a $1000 CL. His scores are in the low 700's, but he has a very thin file. They usually give CL's of $2500 - $3500.
Kohl's (Chase) is great if you've got them in the DC area. They have a lot of good stuff for singles --really good kitchen and bedding departments. The clothes aren't particularly cutting edge, but the men's department has a lot of staples --jeans, dress shirts, sweaters, etc.
Home Depot (Citi) is useful even if you don't own your own place and need to blow stuff up --lamps, rugs, tool kits, animated snowmen, you name it. They also have a MasterCard, so again, be sure you're looking at the store card.
The big bookstore chains have store cards.
And I know you know all about GEMB store cards!

You have to apply for this in-store is that correct? I can't find a way to apply online. They were running an awesome sale last week and also have awesome discount codes for online purchases, but you have to have a store card. So disappointed...
I did apply in-store. It was a breeze, they ask you to swipe any other cc you might have to verify your info. I used the one with my highest cl and got the same cl. Not sure if there's a connection there.
After reading your post I tried looking up their website.. couldn't find a link to apply. Probably just in-store apps.
Their sales are very cool. You get 15% off on anything with your card and added discounts if you have those coupon things they send in the mail.
