App'd for Discover

[Anonymous]

So I got a Discover More Student Card invitation in the mail, and decided I'd go for it.  I app'd last night, and got a 5-7 day message.  I immediately checked my app status online, and it said they needed verification of my address.  One of the options was a photo of my driver's license, so I took one and uploaded it last night.  When I checked my app status today it still says the same thing, so I called in to an account manager, who told me they would contact me in 7-10 days in regards to my application.  Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  If I called a backdoor number to a CSR, would they be able to push it through faster and let me know if I was approved?

If they are in verification your likely already approved

What are your scores and when did you open the cards?

I received same message a couple of days ago..... I called customer service and they asked a couple of credit profile questions and approved me with a 2k line of credit. I definitely would call the back door number, instead of waiting....

I have a Capital One($750) opened approx 1 year ago, a Citi card open April 10th, and a Barclays card open approx 2 weeks ago.

I'm going to go ahead and call and see what they have to say.

I went ahead and called the backdoor number.  The rep looked at my upload, and verified my address, but the application still has to be looked at by a senior credit analysist.  He said I would have my answer in 24-48 hours, but that it looked good.  He said I could call in to check.  When I went online to the application status, I was given the 30-day message.  I'll be checking back tomorrow to see what it says.

Edit - If I called back to any of the lines, could they make it go through faster?  I'm anxious.

Have you received an answer from Discover yet? Did they give you your credit limit?

Just got approved by discover. The only negative is that I can given a 500 dollar limit, which is my lowest. Can you recon limits?
