meya's review: 
I loooove this store. I was approved in 2004 (not instant) with a cl of $250. My socres then were in the low high 400's if not low 500's. They have the best coupons which keeps your running to the store. They even send you 20-40% off coupons attached to your statement, return envelope, and inside the envelope. Let's not forget the 70% coupons that comes in the mail and at the store already... Looorrrd have mercy on me. The rewards are hmmm so so I never had a chance to redeem so I really can't say much about it. Guess what else is cool, they give you a cli every four months without a problem, as long as you pay on time, they will take care of you the right way. The customer service is awsome, they are so respectful and courteous to you.
By the way, I am currently at a whopping $2380 with them as of today, but yes I do keep a balance with them because I sho there constantly. One more thing, this card is for plus size women (like myself) with clothes sized from 14-32, so if you feel like this is something tha fits you and you wanna give it a try, "Go for it!" This is a great way to rebuild credit, even if you are not a plus sized individual, maybe you have friends and family that are. Apply for the card and use it purchase gifts, and at the same time you are rebuilding your credit.
Speaking of rewards, let me go and look at my statement, I may have something to redeem, hehehehe.

That sounds good...
Question though?
Are they affiliated with world bank or who issues the card?

World Finance BAnk on 2008-02-05
Yes this is issued by World Finance Bank Ash. I think they are pretty cool and I have not had a problem with them yet... Lol. Oh Porgy, by the way this is a plus size women clothing department store... Lol. Men go there too to buy mom, wife, sis, close friend a gift. The only time my hubby comes with me is when I am in the process to make a purchase on our way out somewhere. You should see him peeking at everything I come to the counter with...:p

Not Actually on 2008-05-18
I applied in the store and I did not get an approval. It was about 2 weeks before they made an approval decision. Keep your fingers crossed and don't loose faith. My friend applied for this card in the store about 2 months ago and she was approved with heck of utilities and cable charge offs.

Hey Meya on 2008-05-19
That would be neat if I did, but I'm used to getting the rejection letter. I filed bankruptcy five years ago, but I'm battling with the credit bureaus to get it off. I did get a few good cards, but wished I had seen this site first before I started. I'll let you know if by some grace of God I do get approved, but I got the same reply with Macy's and then got the rejection letter in the mail. :) I wonder if they are interrelated!!

I wonder, because there are a lot of cards that are not bk friendly. Go try Travelocity, they are pretty bk friendly. I never knew of fighting with the three cb's about bk on your cr. That last for 10 or more doesn't it? Please let me know of the results through our personal mailbox. Until then, here is a thread started on cards that are bk friendly or not.

I'm Afraid on 2008-05-20
To apply for another card and see, "further processing of your application is needed, you will be contacted in 7-10 days" UGH, ***big slap on the head*** why did I even apply!! LOL
I'll wait until I've had Tribute, Orchard, Crown Jewels and Credit one for awhile. hehe

That is what I got in the begining, don't slap yourself in the forehead for nothing. You might just have some love on its way.

Approval For Sister on 2008-10-10
Went into the store and they showed her some love at the counter. She received a limit for $250 with a nice coupon book to use throughout the year. I remember that book... Lol. Scores at the time was 585-600, with 4 baddies left. This is a nice card to have for the plus size women.

Update on 2008-11-30
Well, I love this card but I hate to put a bad review on their new line of clothing. Avenue went from causal jeans like Seven7's and nice beautiful sweaters for plus size womens. Now they are transforming to clothes that my mother will not wear. I just received a cli from them this week which have me at $2980, I appreciate it much, but now I do not see any use of using the card because the only thing I purchase there is under-ware, bras, and sometimes pajamas.
I love the customer service, just hate that you have to go through so much automated voice sale twice before you can make an option to speak to a rep. They have given me cli's every 4 months, never failed, also they send out so many coupon's until you can't resists spending with them. I am talking about three 30%, two 20%, maybe one 40% and then your statement has a detachable $10 or $20 off purchase of $75 or more. Oh I am not finished yet, the back of the envelope they provide to pay your bill, there be 40% coupons back there, and you can go online and download some. I have had purchases that totaled to $300 and when the coupons got through scanning, it was down to $120-$200. You can not beat this no matter which way you try.
My overall usage of the card has been exCiting, and I will never forget the relationship that we had with each other. Because they trusted me, I provided honest to them. Because we have showed each other love, I think there is no other card out there that I would put first (Besides Macy's... Lol). If I decided to turn completely away from this store, I think I would keep the card because I do not want to loose the history I earned from them. I guess I will go back when my undergarments start to get raggedy and bleached out... Lol. But until they change their line of fashion, I am not going to be using the card as much.
