I decided to do some "Shopping Cart Trick" apps today to see if I could increase my total credit line without any hard pulls. I was able to get the pop-up's and preapprovals for the following:
Venus: $250
One Stop Plus: $250
King Size Direct: $250
Brylane Home: $250
I have zero intention of using any of these cards, mainly cuz I've never heard of them and don't have any use for the products they sell. But it's nice to add an overall $1K to my total credit line and hopefully give my utilization a small bump. I do have one gripe, though. I got the pop-up preapproval for Victoria Secret, but when I went to accept it, it gave a "Please complete highlights portions below" error message - and I noticed that the State box was highlighted. When I went to click on it for the dropdown menu, it wouldn't drop down, it would only say "Select" and wouldn't let me pick a state. I couldn't even type a letter to autoselect one. I tried this on Safari and on Chrome, but with same results. So I was not able to accept the VS card, even though I was preapproved for it. So that was kinda frustrating.
