New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

NP. I can now see how DH ended up with VS on his credit history after 2 orders in his name (he got it successfully expunged). I'm happy it didn't tank my credit score! Credit Sesame also told me my score went up and that there was a change in my credit usage (I'm spending less on a CC). I highly recommend using that free service. Smilie
my dh also shows vs cc in his credit. i did add him as a user to the cc though. i didn't know it would show up in his credit history.

they suck. could you use your dh's account?
i actually do have another next account that i signed up not linked to the cc. i need to up the status of it to a-list and then use my exp cc too for the fs. not sure if they'll link it. i'll probably see if i can ban them first Teehee not hard when they cooperate with the lack of sales. and if i hold on to my principles. i might enjoy it like i did for a little while last year.

I also got this yesterday. Minus leather and fabric tube dress. Paid $25 last friday for it. It's tight around my boobs. They can hardly breathe. I will probably keep it.

I tried that dress on before and found it tight across the chest as well. I returned it.

I tried everything on! Turns out I like columnist slim flare pants and I can wear both 0 and 2! But the other columnist styles I got were all in 2 and are all too big. They do a weird bunching thing around the crotch that's unflattering. So I'll only consider the 2 slim flares that I got - the 2 in that one didn't bunch funny even though it's big.

Got the cords in grey in 2 and prefer the fit. I know the leg will stretch and the waist fits better.

Got a couple of jackets in 4 and they're a little big... I guess I am now more a 2 jacket than 4... I like the herringbone bc it matches the pants I got, but it's big and not flattering. I doubt I'll be able to stalk the site and find it... Sadwalk

I LOVE my raglan sleeve top! It's beautiful. Wish I had it in multiple colors! I really wanted the purple but I'm happy I have a teal.

Cashmere blend leggings - I got these in xs bc s went oos.. They're a little tight in the calf/leg. Not sure if they'll loosen up. The waist fits fine.

Yes. That is one way to build someone else's credit (if you have good credit). Adding a person as an authorized user makes your credit score their credit score. The bonus for you is that you do not need to give the person access to your card. Some parents do it for their children to assist them with establishing credit. I would consider doing it for my child.

Nerdi- I did that with amazon shoes. Ordered a bunch of rain boots knowing I'll keep one or two. Ended up with 1. Returned 3 or 4.

DH has better credit. I only did it to get bday reward for him (lame...). DH and I don't share cc's. maybe he should have added me when I first came here. My first cc I think gave me $200 limit laugh out loud

aww thanks for the support, but i don't do well on drama. what happened to your order?

see, express... that's 100% screw-up rate for you to this customer.
i ordered 3shirts and a belt, and i got 5 shirts and a belt. So i was able to return 2 of them for credit, but that is a pretty big issue on their end since they put doubles of 2 of the shirts in. That should have been really visable to whom ever was packing it.

Reporting that for the Gorgeous bra I got today, I was charged $18.64 in shipping using the free 2nd day. W.T.F is up with VS. They are quickly getting themselves banned after SRC season is over!

yes just be careful because it doesnt make the scores the same, its just added into the rest of the things they have to calculate score. So if you add them to a card that you have a balance on, even if you pay on time an it has been open for a long time, if thats the only thing on their credit then it can hurt their ability to get more credit. We just went thru that with DH since he had no credit history before we started dating. It took some careful calculations to see which cards would actually boost the score.Wink

Does Credit Sesame tell you what's going on with your CC and such real time via email or something? Or do you log in to check? I still have it open in one of my tabs and want to use it soon.
. . .
Real-time, I think. You can set it to email you whenever something changes. I enabled their free Credit Monitoring service (again, did not need to enter a CC to do it so no surprise "renewal fee" ).

Here's their description:
You'll receive alerts from Credit Sesame when we see that:
  • A new account was opened in your name, which helps inform you of potential fraudulent activity
  • An inquiry was made of your credit profile
  • A late payment, balance change, or other events that can affect yourcredit score was reported to your credit report
Checking emails- I have a month in summary on the 18th, the VS accounts I got an email about each (9), and another email about the change in credit usage. It's been a busy month, hehe but they don't feel spammy.

Question for you ladies - can you use multiple electronic VS giftcards on a single online order? Or do they limit you?

i don't think so. you actually apply the e-gc to your account prior to ordering, kinda like amazon gc codes. on the checkout page, it will show you your balance.

you can use multiples, unless they're src's or something.
