Today, I applied for Target Visa for second time and I got approved for $8500 at 15.9% APR. I should received my card within 2 weeks and this is my third smart card Visa card. First time, they found out I had charge-off acount from Mervyns account from a long time ago. I hope that they will find that out before they issue the card. Ron.
Ron: I suggest you to call in a couple days to see if everything is Ok with your card. I was approved for the same limit and Interest rate 8.5 K 15.9% last week and just found that they closed my account pending verification of ID, SS#, Address, Phone etc... The same happened to my brother a month ago.
I think Target pulled Equifax and I haven't checked on it yet. I don't know what score that I have on Equifax. My TransUnion score is 648. Ron.
Geo, Did you have any account with them when you're applying for Target Visa? I have Target Guest Card about two years and I think they can verify information from my Target Guest Card record including address,SSN#,phone number. I don't think I have any problems. Ron.
I had a Target guest card with a $300 limit which I closed on May, no problem ever with this account.
Geo, Currently I had a Target Guest with a credit limit $700 and it is good standing. I think they can verify all my information with that Target account. Yesterday I ordered my smart card reader. I think you shouldn't closed your Target card account so you can verify all your personal information over there. It doesn't matter whether I checked with them or not because if they don't give me, they still don't want to give me beside I har two other smart cards from First USA and Fleet Bank. This card is just only for my collection and honestly I rarely bought outside to use except mail order from the internet. Ron.
