I was at Fry's Electronics yesterday...the salesman told me that if I wanted 1 yr no interest I needed to apply for a credit card, that it was nothing to be approved and I could take my purchase home. I applied. It had a "glich" and he said that 99% of the time that happens and I would get my card (which I now did not need) in about 2 wks. Another associate told me that this was standard practice. Now I have a card coming I do not need, which affects my credit whether I use it or not, and I made my purchase at Best Buy which was wonderful. Just wondered how many people fall for this scam, especially at Christmas and how many would like to know DO NOT patronize stores with this practice as they MAKE money off your getting the card whether you USE IT OR NOT and it DOES stay with your credit no matter what..
