No. If you applied online, and were approved, you would have gotten an immediate response online. If you were denied, you would have gotten a message that says they will look over it and send you a response within thirty days. The letter will just explain why you were denied. When we bought our house, my husband and I both applied online for the card. I got a message right away that said I was approved and a temporary number to use. My husband was denied and got a message that said he would get a response in thirty days. He got a letter saying that a large financial purchase had been tagged on his credit within the last thirty days (the home loan) so he was not eligible at the time for the card. Hope that helps!
