I want to buy a Dell notebook and I wanted to finance this using a Dell credit card. I applied for one on the website yesterday and was told that there had been an error and that I should try again later, use a different payment method, or contact a representative. I decided to try again later. I tried today and got the same "error" message.
Have I been rejected for the card and they're just trying to be polite in some way or is it really, truly an error?
I wasn't sure what number to call for Dell to ask them, so I thought maybe someone else would know. I just checked my credit report from Equifax and I have no black marks. I always make payments by the deadlines on cards I do have so as far as I know, I have good credit. The only thing that might negatively affect the application is that I am a 19 year old student (but I don't have any educational loans).
I use Firefox so I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it if it is an actual error, but I don't trust IE...

Generally speaking a credit request will either be accepted or declined with a message reflecting the acceptance or rejection.
An error message such as the one you got reflects a problem with the infrastructure that is being used to make the request and doesn't necessarily mean that the credit is being denied.
The Dell.com site has contact links at the bottom of the page if you want to speak with someone from Dell to get this cleared up.

i might want to propose you to end making use of. First discover out the rationalization. each and every time your credit is administered, it causes your credit status to drop. meaning your possibilities of been approved is lowering. And definite different banks can tell. it really is all listed on your credit record at the same time as they acquire a reproduction. when you're being denied because of an exceedingly undesirable credit, commence making all of your funds on time, in as low as 6-8 months your score will bypass up.

It could be Firefox. Some websites doen't work properly when using something other than IE.
But I still use Firefox and open IE as needed.

No, generally error means there was a problem with the website or with its ability to verify your information.
