No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
There's several places to buy accessories for Vitamix blenders. WS is way too expensive IMO. There are certain retail establishments you only visit occassionally, mostly because of price. This is why I choose not to have a credit card from these places. You'd be better off Googling what you want and using a card you already have to buy it with. Not mention those Comenity APRs.
BTW, I have a Vitamix from Williams-Sonoma. $530 blender isn't usually the way I spend my money. Would never do it again.

Saeren you’ve had a great recent run. You’re much braver than I am and it’s paid off. Please consider quitting (pausing) while you are ahead. I hope the penicillin isn’t fogging up your thinking!
2 more new accounts today, one pending. I think I’m done though because one of the new cards was a Disco IT Miles and I’ll want to put as much there as possible to max that 3% cash back.
Amoxicillin is long gone, mild mania might be an issue though.
Regardless, thanks to this thread and Fin in particular, I am leaving Comenity alone and got a Citi Rewards+ instead. Basically will end up having my new blender pitcher be free.

I use my Vitamix literally every day and it’s been rock solid since I got it in 2014. I don’t regret the $700 purchase of my Pro 750 one bit lol.
But I agree, I would normally never buy anything from WS. The appeal was the 20% off which makes the 32oz container cheaper than anywhere else. Vitamix controls the pricing very tightly and if there was somewhere that was significantly cheaper, I would be concerned it’s a knock off.

I got a Coldcreek mastercard from the SCT a few years ago 1k limit a week later the card came in the mail I tried to activate it and it failed I called in and was told the card would not activate because they decided to close it ... It still popped up on my CR as a new account but said closed by them
But did you use the card when you got approved for it?

Pretty certain the post said Comenity closed it before the plastic arrived. No time to use it.
I don't think using or not using the card makes any difference. Comenity's algorithim tends to just shut down the account regardless.

You can quite often use these cards when you get approved for them before receiving them, hence the shopping cart trick, so it's a relevant question regardless.

I am not sure either way which is why I made the thread to collect DPs but so far there hasn't been much participation either way. 🤷♂️
