Jim, I read your post and took a chance and applied for a Bloomingdales card. my favorite store on the planet. I just received an email that I was approved and that my card will come in 7 days.I dont have anymore details. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tip. Smoochies!
You are more than welcome Roni!!! I got the GM card last April because you got one and told us about it. So - thanks. Bloomingdale's is cautious about what information they give you. I was only able to find out that they pulled EQ on me because I got an EQ report in the mail and saw the inquiries from BL and Macy's. When I asked on the courtesy phone, the rep refused to tell me whom they pulled. Here is one suggestion for you. On Sunday or Monday, go to a BL store near you and ask what your credit limit is on the courtesy phone. If you are not satisfied with your limit tell the rep that you are in the store and prepared to buy merchandise but that you need a higher limit. If there is ever any time to get an increase it is now. You have a new account, a recession is on, it's XMAS, and your in the store shopping. BTW, I was satisfied with a $1,000 limit and did not try and get an increase. My Macy's limit is $1,500 Jim
