How easy to get credit with GEMB

Looking at possibly buying a tv and they have an 18 month no interest option through an av shop. I would pay it off well before that but free money is free money.

 

How are they to deal with if you dont have stellar scores (low 700) and do they pull from all three or a particular CU

 

Thank you

Re: How easy to get credit with GEMB

whats your credit history like? and what is the name of the shop? I have several gemb products. my highest limit with them is $2000 through hhgregg and I had a 680 fico at the time i applied no baddies and short credit history a little under 2 years and several accounts opened recently. my 2nd highest is walmart with $1650 that ive had for a year and a half. its pretty easy to get approved but the limit you get approved for depends and how much are you looking to get approved for?

Just applied/got instant approval for GEMB/Lumber Liquidators this morning, approved for $3000 immediately.  Less than what I wanted, so will request CLI when the card arrives.  Pull was TU/FICO score 719.

Re: How easy to get credit with GEMB

I would say easily.  It was the first account I received after my BK.  Once they give you credit it is easier to get more and other accounts.

Barclays US Air $17K| TTCU $15K| Citi Diamond $10.5K| Discover IT $9000| CapOne $2K| Best Buy $2K

I got denied for LL because of inquiries....so not incredibly easy to get....too bad for them too as I have the cash, but wanted the card to finance putting laminate wood floors into my new home....

Paypal, Amazon and QVC--- 500, 700 and 800, respectively.

Once i got the first one the other one's were fairly easy to get.

Re: How easy to get credit with GEMB

I think i know why she was denied, she was blacklisted due to one account being on her BK that was GEMB.

I dont see any other reason why she would have been turned down.
