Shopping cart trick

I have just recently found out about this trick (wish i knew sooner)

 

I applied for a mandees card and was approved with a $300 limit (in store)

 

I tried for a few days at VS with the shopping cart trick and finally got the pop up. (was approved for $500)

 

I am trying to get 1 more card but have not had any luck. Really trying to get a sporting store since i would most likely shop there since i already have 2 clothing stores.

Nothing yet but hopefully, eventually i can get one. (hubby really wants a metal detector lol)

 

From what i have gathered, quite a few of comenity bank stores works with the shopping cart trick. Has anyone had any luck with any other stores. Or maybe a actual credit card? I would love a card to use anywhere but do not want to apply as i am trying to build up my credit.

Re: Shopping cart trick

How far do you have to get in the checkout process for this to generate the popup?

When I did the Express and Buckle card I had an item in the shopping cart and clicked on Check Out and before it took me to the final order screen it popped up with the pre-approved message. WIth the Comenity cards I've found if you can proceed to the payment details screen where you'd enter your card information and don't see the pre-approved pop up screen that you are likely not pre-approved to get the card. I also get a pop-up from Brylane Home but haven't gotten that card beacause I don't shop there often and don't want to ding my AAOA any further.

To get the Sportsman's Guide popup you have to add their buyer's club rewards membership thing to your cart.   I put the membership plus enough other junk to come out to around $2000.00 and when I went to checkout got the popup and was approved for the $2000.00 I had in my cart.  Once you are approved and go through the application process just go back in and delete everything from your cart.

Congrats on your approvals. In all my rebuilding phase, I never once had a pop-up doing the SCT...Smiley Sad!

I just got the pop up for VIctoria's Secret today, approved for $500 as well. I tried calling to see if they would just link with my old account they had closed a couple years ago due to inactivity, but no bueno. Bah. haha Worth a shot!

I just can't get the sportsmans guide to save my life... I really want the total rewards though... even got an email about it yesterday and got so excisted and logged in but it was just saying I "should get it" not that I was pre-approved for it!!

 

and on "Some" of the sites I have had to actually put my credit card info in AND THEN I got pop up... vita cost and hsn worked this way for me.... go all the way to click to submit order if you have to!
