Has anyone ever waited 3 weeks on the status of an application for a credit card at a bank and the receive a phone message from the new accounts dept. regarding your recent online activity? If so what does this mean approved or not? I am still waiting for them to return my call...

Call again, if they call you make sure that's not a scam by calling back the number you have. It's a long time but possible. Calling them and asking if they need more information may help.
Thank you for your reply!!! I called them back after posting and she said some information did not come through when I apped online. She then proceeded to have me verify the info that she apparently already had so I don't know where the whole info didn't come through thing came from. Then she said she would send it to the underwriters and I would hear something in 7 to 10 days. I already have the feeling this is a denial, but I don't understand what is taking so long can't they just say denied and put me out of my misery
Well it sucks that it's taking so long but at least their is still hope. It sounds to me they couldn't verify your application and avoiding identity theft. Good Luck! Please update on the out come.
will do @coldnmn... Thanks again
@KennyRS it is with fifth third bank, and I don't see them mentioned much on the forum unless I am looking in the wrong places

Fifth Third Bank

(I don't know if this is for the underwriter, but it's the only application status number I could find, but it wasn't on this forum.. googled it.) Let us know if you decide to try the number out and if it's the correct number for the application status we can get it added to the list.
On a side note I called and spoke with a lady. When asked if I could speak to an underwriter regarding my application status, she said absolutely not! Wow. She was so nice. Not! She said she could look up the application status, though. lol
@KennyRS that number worked and it was a denial Oh Well I kind of Knew that anyway. I will wait until some of my inquiries fall off and let my accounts age a little longer before I try again. Unfortunately when my credit started improving slightly I went App crazy and lo and behold got a bunch of denials. Thanks again for your help and for this forum it has been a wealth of knowledge for me.

Well, I certainly hate that for you, but now you know what to work on and you can get it next time! This board is awesome, I agree.
