Sears Recon - Approved with $3000 limit

[Anonymous]

Was not approved for sears last week and got the dreaded 30 day message. I waited patiently for the letter and thought it was going to say due to inquiries or too new of accts since I have done 6 or 7 apps in the past 30 days. Nope, it was for unable to verify residence. Went through 4 out of wallet questions and a "I'll be right back" and when the guy returned he approved me for a $3000 credit line, matching my Chase Freedom!!!

Very happy since I hear Sears is hard to get approved with. !!!

@johnny by any chance was it the mastercard version because your limit is quite big.

Congratulations to your approval. I about had a heart attack when they approved me in store for Sears Platinum Master Card from Citi $4,000 limit... I went there in Jan of this year because my mom got approved for the secondary back up card the Cap 1/ HSBC version which they don't have anymore if you got declined for the Citi version. I have a Chap 7 Bk from July 2009 and I filed BK on a regular Sears card for $600 back then... I had 23 inquiries as well I have no idea how in the world I got that card.  $4,000 limit $250 cash limit then they dropped the cash line to $50 lol. I got spooked that they were decreasing my entire limit they told me they did that to every one who has a Sears MC is that true?

Actually Sears is pretty easy to get approved for. I know 6 years ago they gave me a card with a $3K starting limit with less than a year history. My only other card at the time was a capital one with $500 limit. Good thing I can use it @ Kmart cause my Sears closed down a year ago. Tried to PC this card with no success.
