I haven't had much experience in applying online for a credit card, so I had a question for you guys. I'm looking at a new TV at Circuit City, and I hope to catch a very nice deal on no-interest financing leading up to the Super Bowl, the period in which every company tries to sell as many TV's as they can.

However, I don't want the card if I can't get enough of a credit line to purchase the particular TV I want. After you fill out the credit app, will they usually state the credit line they are willing to give, then you can accept or deny the offer? Or will you not know until after you accept whatever APR they offer? Or, should I just go in store and fill out an app?
