Re: Shopping cart trick...?

Yeah, I will probably hold off for at least until I get the cards. :] I'm really psyched about fixing my credit. Finally took the time to learn the lingo and what not. Since August, I've been increasing in my TU score. Not sure about the other 2. 

August - 625

Sept - 638

October/November - 666

Now, I am brainstorming a plan, as I know my AAoA will sink! And I will be forced to join the garden club.

Jcrew Isn't Quite A Popup As It Was Plainly Listed At The Checkout Page Itself.

Just An FYI, If It Shows Up For You And You Accept But Are Taken Back To The Main Page With An “Oops,” Try Using Firefox.

Re: Shopping cart trick...?

The JCREW actually doesn't pop up....you have to go past the page where you enter all the information to selecting billing/shipping info and at the top it's in a large highlighted box (PREAPPROVED for the JCREW Credit Card)....I went for it got a $750 CL

Re: Shopping cart trick...?

I did it as a guest each time I have tried and I was always looking for a pop-up....make sure that if you have a middle inital you put that in the first name field as well (Ex. Tyler M) then last name.

It doesn't.  Guest or with a profile.  Adding another Comenity one?

Re: Shopping cart trick...?

Nah. I'm not a JCrew shopper, but I heard they are one of the easier ones to get, so I was curious, because I tried several times prior to the last batch. I'm good now. Focusing on gardening these to grow & developing my real credit cards.
