It appears that market segments that were not previously exposed to credit cards were accidentally targeted.There's a rumble down at the Kmart: Computer Glitch Leads To Kmart Brawl - Money News Story - KMGH Denver

I wonder if they were cards that were given money on the accounts to open with. Occassionally there are promotions where you open an account and it starts with a -$XYZ balance. *shrugs*
Either way it is pretty sad and shows just how far hysteria can take people.
One witness told police someone went to another Kmart, got some applications there and was selling them in the Wauwatosa Kmart parking lot for $20 apiece.
AS i read the story, it was a $10 free for opening an account, but what got people excited was getting approved for $850 or more even though they weren't creditworthy. And that credit was seen as "FREE MONEY"!!!! Yikes.

As I read the story, the first thing that I thought was....there are still Kmarts?
