I put in my application Monday evening and because I lifted a security freeze for the week to do the application, I called today to follow and make sure that the application was processed within the time period that I lifted my freeze for.
I didn't seem to get a solid "yes you're approved" but the nice rep told me "based on what we've got here, we can definitely do something for you". Don't they usually tell you outright if you've been approved or not?

Welcome to the forums!!!
Sounds like they are doing a manual review of your CR's because the computer couldn't instant approve. Be patient, give it a few days then call the number the above poster left.
I'm glad I called the recon line a day after I applied. I had informed them that I lifted my security freeze and wanted to ensure that my application was processed within my lifted timeframe. They asked a few questions, namely a fraud account charge off that Capital One refuses to absolve me of (even though all purchases were made in a completely different state than where I live...and I have debit statements to prove my whereabouts...sigh). The nice rep told me to call back again to follow up but based on our discussion, can definitely do something for me.
I called back a few days later, there were additional questions--namely verification and I finally got my approval. On the day I received my card in the mail--I also received the automated "you have been declined--due to charge off on your credit report" letter. HAHA
