L.L. Bean

Last year I applied for a credit card. I was shocked when I was refused due to "not enough credit experience." My husband and I purchased an automobile last year. The salesman told us we had the BEST credit reports he had ever seen. We buy most of our purchases with store credit cards and our Master Card. We pay the total amount each time. We have been doing this for 17 years. Why doesn't LL Bean tell the truth and say we don't buy enough merchandise from them so they don't wish to bother with us. We don't have a problem getting credit anywhere else. A disclaimer would even be nice that states to the effect if you don't buy from us regularly during the year don't waste your time filling out and online application or applying over the phone. I wouldn't even give a one star if there was a zero option when it relates to truth and LL Bean credit card card application.
