I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

After I applied for a JetBlue Business card last night, they sent me an email that it is pending. In the email, there was an email link to check on your application status. It asked your last name, last 4 of your ss number, zip code and email. I just put in the info and it said it never heard of me Maybe because I just applied last night? Has anyone heard of this. I am sure I put in the right info, I checked a few times.

I had it happen a few weeks ago when I applied for the AA biz. I waited a week and it never showed up that I applied. I knew it went through and could see the hard pull on my credit that day.
I waited a week and called the number for Barclay. They had my app and I was approved after verifying some info.

Also @Lain, I received my replacement Lux card. I had to compare numbers to figure which it was replacing as I was looking in fairly dim light and the deep purple was not distinct from my other 2 SPG's. I don't hate the new Lux replacement card - was prepared to but at least now I can easily distinguish which card is which, especially once I get the replacement for the regular one.
If you remember, when we got our 'Lux's' we all sort of complained that it was cheap plastic and didn't look as purple as the regular card. Plus Chase came out with the Marriott Premier Rewards and made it a black metal card, sort of upstaging the $450 piece of dark plastic Amex produced. Seems to me Amex tried to step up their game by issuing a card with a little more cachet.

And, a funny tidbit about daughter's player 2: he had been using the Ritz card, and recently applied and was approved for a different card for himself - player 1 does the apps and gives him the card he gets to use. He complained to daughter that he received a 'cheap piece of plastic' and was very disappointed that he had to use a 'lesser' card. Prior to the Ritz he had a CSR, and apparently has become a metal card princess. The Ritz is (I think) going to card heaven once it's year is up very shortly, but I have to agree that it was one hefty card.

I really hoped the Lux would be a purple metal card. All the graphics showed a brushed metal look. I was sorely disappointed that a $450 AF card in this day and age still comes in plastic.

The new metal Bonvoy Brilliant card is just too dark, and I really dislike the chain link (?) design. I’m not sure what they were going for?

heh, i was clicking on the image on amex.com's website of the Amex Brilliant... it looks nothing like the physical card. :\
in fact, i thought i got the new SPG Biz card one...

Anyone else have an issue with disboards having a virus thingy? It’s the only site I frequent that has been glitchy lately on both my phone and iPad. It keeps redirecting me to spam sites where I can “win” things.

Maybe it's the bright blue American express sign in the right lower corner - I at first thought it was a sticker and tried to scratch it off - the purple cards had it in silver.

It's only going to see light when I spend $300 to get my credit, plus when it has offers that I want to redeem on it. It's such a shift for me - my SPG was the card I used the most, prior to Marriott. Didn't even get a free night and it was still my go to card. After Marriott took over it didn't do anything for me.

My Rose Gold is my new favorite card.

Barclays is so strange. I reapplied for the Aviator Biz this week thinking that if I got approved I could use the plastiq offer to easily meet the spend. My last app was in March when they didn't pull my credit and denied me because I had "enough credit." So, I lowered my card limits last month in preparation for a future app. This time they didn't pull again so I called recon. Part of the reason they didn't pull was I applied too soon after the first app. Whoops. I thought since they didn't pull my credit the first time that it didn't matter. Rookie mistake I guess. So, the csr pulled my credit and then recommended me for approval with a 15k limit, but said I had to speak with someone else first. He gave me a ref# and put me on hold. The next csr mentions the March app (60k miles bonus) instead of the May one (75K miles). After some discussion about how I want the increased offer, she transfers me to someone else who says they have to pull my credit again. She also asked more questions about my income. After the credit pull, she recommends me for approval with a 5k limit, but then puts me on hold to speak with someone else. This last person was "security" who lists several documents that they need to verify my identity before final approval (license, social security card, utility bill). It's so strange that one person can give you a 15k limit and a few minutes later you get a 5k limit based on the same information. It's also strange that you can have two existing accounts with a company and then have to prove your identity on a new account.

I applied for JetBlue Business cc last night and went pending. I already have the Barclays personal cc. TBH, hearing all these stories about Barclays makes me wonder if their credit cards are worth all this aggrevation??? I mean, it's just a cc. It seems like they don't want to approve people, even with exceptional credit. Really annoying!

Same!

Same! The Rose Gold is my front of wallet card.

This was talked about a day or 2 ago. I am now using the Opera browser on my IPhone. The pop ups have gone away. Still not sure I like this browser though. I guess I just need to get used to it. When I come directly from my email link it still goes to Safari and I don’t realize it till the pop ups start.

Hello, I'm mostly a lurker here but I inquired a bit ago about tapping the Chase Sapphire Preferred 60K bonus offer. Thanks to some help, I determined that I am just past 5/24 and back to 4/24. I applied last night and was declined due to a chpt 7 BK in 2011. I called reconsideration today and am approved!

A failed business and marriage had me in ruins a decade ago, but with hard work, I'm earning steeply discounted trips to the mouse

Thanks for the fun and sharing all this great information.

Congrats on the approval

I just spent $100 on raise to take advantage of the 7% off sale. Of course as I was checking out DD came in to bug me about something. I forgot to enter the promo code and didn’t get the 7% off! Grr! Thankfully I read the post about using topcash for 7% back which I hadn’t know earlier so I’ll get that back at least.
At least I am $87 into the spend on my new Barclay AA arrival card that finally arrived earlier.

Me too......very annoying

....for any golf fans...my DH volunteered for the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black....he highly recommends any golf fans doing it if a tournament is in your area...has seen, spoken to lots of golfers...really enjoying the experience
I’m not a golf person so only recognize a few names he has mentioned

Me, three! I currently have only 2 cards in my wallet-my BBP and rose gold. This quarter I have my Discover in my car for gas but in Q3 I'll switch back to using my SPG biz. DD's doctor and my gym are the only two expenses I have that don't accept Amex, so I'm fortunate I can be (almost) all Amex all the time. my MRs!

Yeah, she claimed she didn't authorize the purchase.

So why does she get to keep it? Don’t authorize it, fine, then return it.

I keep meaning to download Opera after others said that helped. I am also getting stuff on my laptop too and only on DIS.

 

[CyndiLouWho]

WOW.....I guess I was expecting something similar to the quick turn around on Pre-Check....I will not bother logging in and looking for updates for a while. Thanks!

You might want to check a few times a week. DH and DS had conditional approval with 2 days for their apps which were done at the same time. They got emails announcing the approvals. I applied a few days later and it took around 6 weeks for my conditional approval and I never got an email notifying me. Once we had the interview, we were told the card would just come in the mail and we wouldn’t get an email, but we did.

 

[Mopedmom1]

wonky board being wonky. Will try again.

Edited: Well, nm. @elgerber @CyndiLouWho

Just trying to say I also don't understand why she just gets to keep it. ???

Congrats!! That is awesome...way to be persistent! You should also be very proud of that hard work you’ve done to repair your credit despite being dealt an unfortunate hand.
