Tips for Getting Approved
Even if you have less-than-perfect credit, approval for the Torrid card is possible. Here are some tips to increase your chances:
- Accurately report your income – Don’t inflate your income too much on the application or it may get flagged. But a stable income improves your approval odds.
- Check your credit report – Mistakes on your credit report can negatively impact your score. Review your report and have any errors corrected prior to applying.
- Pay down balances – Try to lower your credit utilization ratio by paying down balances before applying. The lower your balances compared to limits, the better.
- Build credit history – Applicants with limited credit history may not get approved. Having a previous credit card or other loan in good standing can help.
- Consider adding a co-signer – Adding an authorized user with good credit may help compensate for poor credit. Just make sure the co-signer understands they are equally responsible for the account.
With some preparation, those with credit challenges can set themselves up for possible approval. The Torrid card is designed to help people build credit, so don’t let a low score deter you from applying.
