Re: Express Preapproval (Shopping Cart Trick)

Geez I still can't get those damn cart tricks to work for anything! What's the average score they require for the pre approval to appear?

Congrats!! I declined the express card but I do have a victoria secret and brylane home card with commenity. When I called asking about a cli, they told me you have to wait 9 months. Hopefully they will be more like GE after that.


I was also told 9 months but I was able to get a CLI on my J.Crew card after having it for barely 2 months. Weird.

I also got a CLI with J. Crew, but I bought a couple of things during the 2 months.

The other Comenity's store cards were declined for the CLI. Maybe because I haven't used it yet?

Re: Express Preapproval (Shopping Cart Trick)

Did your JCrew show an amount at the preapproval?  I did it this morning but didnt take the offer b/c they didn't state any credit limit.

It did when I got mine. Most will get $250- unless their credit score is good. Some will get higher.

Re: Express Preapproval (Shopping Cart Trick)

You have to type in your address, the same way it appears on your credit report. If not, they won't be able to identify you. Check your credit report, or last one that you had, and see what address they have you listed under.
