Meijer Credit Card

has anyone heard anything about this card or had it themselves? i want to apply for it because it is where i shop i can find nothing about approval except in the application where it asks if the applicant has ever filed bk. i know the card is issued by ge but very little past that with the exception of the interest rate.

Re: Meijer Credit Card

To be honest I thought you just spelled "major" wrong Smiley Happy   Haven't heard of this card or the store.  In my experience I've had no luck with GE 3 years out of BK7.  Usually when an app asks about BK I get an instant denial.

Re: Meijer Credit Card

Everything I've heard about this card -- which hasn't been very much, to be honest -- indicates that it isn't anything special. But if you shop exclusively at Meijer, it may be worth your while...

 

Yeah, I'm less than helpful right now.

Re: Meijer Credit Card

I got approved 5 yrs post BK, but it was only the store card and the CL was a lowly $700.

 

I ended up closing the acct. after 2 yrs.

Re: Meijer Credit Card

I never heard of Meijer until I moved to Michigan. Everyone around here claims Walmart stole Meijer's concept, but if there were any truth to that I think Meijer would be better known Smiley Happy

The card is so-so. The gas is only $0.05/gl discount not 5% which is like 1.5% discount depending on price per gallon. If you get the MC version I believe you get a 20% off coupon after $2k spend.

well meijer has been in business much much longer. i am only 31 and i can tell you meijer had the same store design when my parents were kids. i plan on buying a television and was wanting the card just for the 10% off first purchase, its an 800.00 tv. i am by no means telling you where to shop as meijers pays just as poorly as wal-mart but the idea of a superstore begin with meijer, they just chose to remain privately owned unlike wal-mart. curious what part of michigan as i am originially from up there

I am near Ann Arbor. Yes Meijer did not expand nearly to the extent Walmart did, maybe it was good choice not to. I really try to order most of that stuff online so I dont have to fight for parking or stand in line Smiley Happy

Michigan transplant here. Yeah, I remember the packed parking lots and stupidly long checkout lines quite vividly.

 

They opened a new Meijer near my house in Chicago last fall. The parking lot is maybe 33% filled at any given time, and the lines aren't quite as long. I'm sure the fact that both a Wal-Mart and a Sam's Club are, literally, right around the corner isn't helping things...

 

It's a totally different atmosphere compared to your typical Michigan store. And worse, no one but other Michigan transplants knows that Meijer is actually a huge chain. It's depressing almost.
