Gettington

[Boonie]

A month ago, I found an online store called Gettington.  The products looked nice and I wanted a tablet.  I applied online for their credit with 644 EQ (USAA FAKO) and was approved with a $750 limit.  They pulled EQ and report to EQ and TU, and appear to work very similar to my Fingerhut account.  Also, the websites/products are very similar.  Webbank backs Gettington, Metabank for Fingerhut.  I ended up buying an ACER tablet.

I have gottenm preapproved catalogs in the mail however

And qwow that tablet isnt too bad priced

Acer Iconia 10" 16GB Android Honeycomb 3.0  is $459 there and fingurhut wants $549 at buy.com its $449 so Gettington seems to have good prices

I actually got my ACER for $319, and they raised their price in the last couple weeks.  Probably because they sold out so fast!  My sister looked a couple weeks ago and it was on back order.

About two months after I got my Gettington account, I received an email advising they gave me a $300 CLI!  Very quick CLI on a new account!  Sweet!

Is there an annual fee with Gettington? I am looking for one more credit line that will report to all three bureaus that is easy to be approved for.

I also got a catalog recently. Didn't bite though.

I received a pre-approval for $600 a few months back.  The terms didn't work for me, so I threw it away.   But I'm very glad you found credit that is helpful for you!  Congrats!

No annual fee with Gettington or Fingerhut.  Gettington terms are better than with the Fingerhut account.

Do they do pre-approvals online when shopping?

i know this is kind of an old thread, but CreditKarma just recommended that I apply here to increase my credit score. my score is good i think. ranging from 680 to 802 depending what i'm up to.

anyways, since i always review stuff before signing up, i was shocked to find that this gettington.com site has all bad reviews.  it appears that all the good reviews are fake.

in addition to that, when i posted about this on credit karma, my post was deleted. because of this, i think i'm done with them.

this is my first post and i'm looking forward to being a part of the myFICO community. -rob
