Credit Cards

[TLM]

I just applied for the Cabela's Visa and received the 7-10 day response.  Is this common with this card or is it probably a denial?

I had that message and was approved...  I called after a day or so...

I got the same msg, called and was told it was approved (and reporting on my credit reports) and already in the mail . There have been a lot of people who, upon activation, discovered their credit limit was chopped in half from what it was originally approved for, based simply on the current state of the economy.

I got the same message and was also approved.

Thanks to all of you!  I just called and was told I was approved for $7000 CL.  I almost dropped the phone!  I was shocked.  It is through WAMU though and I already have another account with them that has a perfect history.  I sure hope they don't cut my limit in half when I activate the card.

Congratulations! That's a great starting limit for Cabela's. Just think about how many bottles of jerky marmalade you can get now! If they're still doing it, you get a free gift for signing up. It used to be a multi-purpose folding knife.

It is not through WAMU that I know of...  It is Worlds Foremost Bank as far as my cards is concerned...

[TLM]

Mine is through WAMU.  Apparently, they also handle some of their cards.  When I called, they told me my application had been transferred to WAMU and gave me their number.  It's supposed to still be a Cabela's card though.

That new to me...  I wonder if this is new or if they have been a lomg time issuer as well?

[TLM]

I didn't know it either, but it does say on the application info that some cards may be issued by WAMU.  I have been very happy with my other account, but since they are now Chase it makes me very nervous.  My DH and I have a BK7 from 2006 that Chase was included in.  I'm actually surprised that we even got approved from WAMU this time because of this.  I was told by a CSR that they are still operating as WAMU for now.
