CleverCynic 1,029 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Day 11 and still nothing I'm getting junk e-mail for sales though and "welcome to the club".I don't think I'd buy anything from there. I don't hunt and they look kinda overpriced. They have Knock-off Dockers there for more than Dockers. Link to post Share on other sites
bridad 10 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Cynic, you might give them a call (800 552-7963). I got the '7-10 day' message and then didn't hear anything. I gave them a call and the man said "you didn't hear yet? It's in the mail, 2k limit'. I asked about first purchase profiling, and he said they really like seeing the first purchase from them, after that you can Walmart or Sears to your hearts content. Just stay away from 'Uncle Billy's Online Porn and Bait Shop'. Link to post Share on other sites

isislc 1,220 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That's weird, I got my card 4 days after applying and it went through Wamu, isn't that funny. No bill yet either. Link to post Share on other sites
CleverCynic 1,029 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Day 12, Nada... though I did get a new cap 1 no hassle card from applying at the creditkarma site. It's going right back if they don't please me on the next call. I have a 2k card with them, perfect history, 5% util, 100+ point fico increase since last card, and this one is $500 CL. Bridad, I only go to 'Uncle Billy's Online Porn and Bait Shop' for the bait, jailbait that is Link to post Share on other sites
sparky256DSL 18 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I applied. Got the 7-10 day message. I guess I'll wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites
CleverCynic 1,029 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Do Cabela's consider CLI upon activation? Anyone?Some of you guys got CL over the phone? I didn't. Maybe I'll try again.So Cap1 couldn't do anything for the new card, but did up my first one another $500 and took 2 points off the APR. Said I'd lose my history if I rolled into the new one.

CleverCynic 1,029 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Cabela's said they'd resend the card, should have gotten it by now. They still refused to tell me the CL! You guys were lucky! Link to post Share on other sites
sparky256DSL 18 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If my app is forwarded, how long does that take for them to pull my TU report? Link to post Share on other sites
sparky256DSL 18 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well I just updated my TC and found that WFB ran my EQ and then I must have been passed off to WASH MUTUAL/PROVIDIAN because they ran my EX. I'm guessing I was denied because I had a previous PROVIDIAN card that was charged off some time ago (like 8 years). All well, it was worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites
CleverCynic 1,029 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 There are mixed opinions about a providian blacklist, which suggests they don't really have one. Plus, WAMU is gone so you would have a Chase card now, so really their policy will count as well. Why don't you just call and find out? I found out the next day... Link to post Share on other sites

sparky256DSL 18 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Called and was denied by WFB. Said they passed it on and gave me a number to call (800-717-0685) I had to press # a few time until it asks for my SSN and then has an automated system to check the status. Says they are taking between 3-4 week to process and if it has been more then 4 week, I could speak with someone. All well I guess I'll just wait for a while and see what happens.

I had a talk with a Wamu supervisor who flat out told me I would never get a Wamu card, even if my scores were 800 because I burned providian back in 2001. I am truly hoping that Chase plays ball....and I even hope Chase fired that POS. Link to post Share on other sites

Chester P. Dexter 177 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I also got the 7-10 day (and so did the hub) a few days ago; just now I could wait no longer so I called up to check status and they said they forwarded mine on to WaMu. They gave me the number but I did not call WaMu.I got the feeling "World's Foremost Bank" (how did they come up with that one?), which is part of the Cabela's company, is run by one guy named Joe. It sounded like Joe Sixpack who answered the phone after about 1/2 a ring. Link to post Share on other sites
CleverCynic 1,029 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 You probably got Garrett... he sounded like that. They don't do CLI's on activation = BoooOnly 3 months til first one though = YaY Link to post Share on other sites
tommy32 107 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I haven't seen anyone say they got instant... I got 7-10 as well. Don't despair.If I get approved I will scream!!! I have been rejected so much I don't get my hopes up anymore LOL But Hopefully you are right, It would be nice to have a real card for a change, with a decent CL..We will see..I will definatly post my results here when I get the word.

borgman72000 106 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I got the feeling "World's Foremost Bank" (how did they come up with that one?)It's part of their name. Cabela's® World's Foremost Outfitters® I've been shopping there for years since my uncle took me to their store in South Dakato in 2002. Yes, I'm an outdoors freak and they probably get about 25% of my annual income. Well, them and Honda and Yamaha. Cabela's actually went through a lot of hell trying to meet FDIC and Federal regulations to open their own bank to offer their own (single brand i.e. WFB's Cabela's Visa) cards, then partnered with Wamu to offer a second tier card (dual brand i.e. Wamu's Cabela's Visa). Some of their stuff is over priced, most of their stuff though is priced according to quality of the product. The term "You get what you pay for" really applies here. I shop the "Bargain Cave" mainly. LOTS of goodies on the cheap in there. Everything from socks and underwear to shotguns and trolling motors in the Bargain Cave. I picked up 15 pairs of Carhart work pants in the Bargain Cave at $5/pair. It's very nice for me since I have a Cabela's a little less than an hour away and their in store Bargain Cave is always much better than their online Bargain Cave. For those of you that have a Cabela's Visa (either brand), be sure to sign up for the Cabela's Club Rewards card. Double your rewards in store and online. I applied online and recieved the 7-10 day message also several months ago. Didn't receive anything for nearly 2 weeks when I got my card. I have the WFB Cabela's Visa card at $3500. Initial CL of $2500, bumped up at 3 months to $3000 (automatic, soft pull), then and additional $500 at 5 months upon request (hard pull) to purchase a very VERY nice antique Ruger. I guess it helps that I spend about $1000 a month in their store and make multiple payments and PIF every month. I only use it at Cabela's too, if that makes a diffrence.I've noticed through conversations with others, that they don't seem to care for people carrying balances too long. According to my uncle, they cut his CL from $5000 to $2800, $200 above balance, when he carried a balance for 3 months and continued to use the card. Since then, he's PIF but still has the $2800 CL with flawless credit.Hope the info helps. Link to post Share on other sites

Chester P. Dexter 177 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 It's part of their name. Cabela's® World's Foremost Outfitters® OK, that makes sense. I thought they were trying to imply that they're the biggest, most reputable bank in the world. I was thinking, "uh-uh, I bet not.":lol:Kind of like "First Choice Chinese Food" or "World's Best Pizza." I'll take them at their word that they're the "foremost" outdoor store.
