RE: sears changing to master c The new Sears Gold card was issued to select sears customers. Mostly customers who of coarse were in good standing , and didn't use their accounts frequently. The main reason they didn't use their accounts regularly was that the interest rates were to high, or they prefered to use only one credit card for all their purchasing needs. This type of account is not yet available to non sears card holders. One can not apply for this type of account as of yet. It's only by invitation/account conversion. It's still in it's begining stages. Millions of customers have already recieved their new cards, and usage has been up. Basically it's been a great success. It will eventually be avialable to the public. The only way you can apply for a regular sears card is to apply in the store using their rapid credit feature, or online, or thru solicitation.
