Shopping cart trick?

Has anyone done the shopping cart trick with Express and when you click submit app it does nothing? It just reloads the pop up with everything still in it. Has this happen to anyone else or does that mean something?

Re: Shopping cart trick?

Express was weird!  I can't remember all the details but I got the pop up several times and when I tried to accept it wouldn't fo anything at all.  I think I had to call.  Also I think with this one when I got the pop-up it didn't give an amount.  Like with my VS card it popped up and said "you've been approved for $XXX" I think the Express only gave me a lousy $250 limit too!  I have never even shopped in that store I only accepted to help with my util.

Yes that happens to me with Ann Taylor too! Anyone know why or if there is a setting on computer to fix this??

Mine did that the other day when i got the preapproval.  I was using Firefox, so I tried it again using IE and it worked without a problem

Re: Shopping cart trick?

The SAME thing is happening to me with Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft and Expess! Its driving me nuts, is there a way around this or is some kind of glitch with their websites?

Re: Shopping cart trick?

I'm having the same issue with Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft

 

I get a pop up everytime I put something in the cart but cannot accept the offer.

 

They also have soft pulled my report

 

and I just got a Jcrew card with the shopping cart trick about a month ago

 

I've tried on different computers and browsers....no luck

 

Never get a pop up for Express or Victoria Secret whose cards i would actually use! Jcrew is too expensive for me but i did use the card to buy socks for my daughter (they matched her school uniform perfectly)

Re: Shopping cart trick?

Funny thing is the link to decline the offer works fine!

Re: Shopping cart trick?

I had the same problem with Express for weeks.  I joined the Express Next rewards program and got the pop up that way.  I accepted and it approved me with only the SP.  Try that way and see if it works for you.

 

Good Luck
