Remarks Scores are not the only factor that creditors are looking for. Other factors can be:

1. Income
2. Credit History
3. Length of credit
4. Utilization
5. Inquiries
6. Recent new accounts
7. Total debt for all credit cards/charge cards/installments
8. Too many cards with the same financial backer

There are many more issues, but these are pretty much the main ones. I have seen inidviduals who has worse credit than me, and get approved for cards that will not give the time or day. Don't feel disappointed buddie, I would not be surprised if they sent you the card in the mail on the next try.

Remarks Hi Meya,

Dont worry to much about being denied for this card. I was denied for the Ebay Mastercard but was approved instantly for the PayPal Account (which I didn't want) so I closed it out in a few weeks. I then realized I have the SamsClub Discover Card, Wal-mart Card, and one other GEMB card. I couldn't figure out why they denied me because my FICO score was a 734 at the time. But I then realized I already had 3 accounts with the same bank. I would suggest that you apply for the Macys Visa Card. It's my favorite.

Take Care, Sheila (Rockin35)
