I applied for a Sears charge shortly after arriving in Illinois, and was turned down because I hadn't lived at the same address long enough. Two years later, I had no problem, but my credit line is only $660 (how did they arrive at such an odd figure?). By contrast, Montgomery Ward *gave* me a credit card, on a pre-approved application, and I have a $3000 limit on that. I guess M.W. is a little more eager for my business. -- Bob Fishell ihnp4!ihu1g!fish
