Sears seems to be particularly persnickety about approving credit, and
they're pretty stingy about credit lines when they do.  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.
