In order to provide you with an instant decision, we need to speak with you - message.  Has anyone had experience with this and if so, what was the outcome when you spoke to them?   I'll call them shortly to discuss, but I was hoping to hear some positive feedback prior to doing so!   Is this a bad thing?

For what? Are you another post count junkie/bot? He hasn't been approved yet if you read anything.

Starting to think most of these "CONGRATS" peeps are just bots. C'mon admins.

The "Congrats" are for the OP's SimplyCash approval.   The personal BCE, however, is still pending for the OP.

OP, congrats on SimplyCash approval and please keep us updated on BCE.

Had simular situation after applying a day apart for cards. First was instant approved, second required call for verification due to the time between applications. First was instant approved for 15K and second approved while talking to them for verification for 15K. Calling is the thing to do.

I have not heard anything more about the BCE card as of yet.  They told me I should have an answer by Tuesday. I'm hoping i haven't heard yet just because it's the weekend??
