   I got my Sears credit card when I was still in college, with no
credit history and no money.  Furthermore, they had many reasons not
to give me credit, e.g. my visa status.  You ask "how did he get it"?

   One day I was walking through the Student Union (in U. of Wisconsin,
Milwaukee) when some guy sitting at at a table stopped me and offered
to give me an application for a Sears credit card.  At first I was
reluctant, not knowing what exactly the credit was goning to get me
and why was this guy so interested in helping me.  To make a long story
short, he was with some kind of a student organization and they had some
kind of an understanding with Sears.

   I applied for the card and received my card in two weeks.  So, for
those of you who are still in college, check what your student
government might have.

Be careful out there.
