Kay Jewelers what does this mean?

I applied for a Kay's card and received the following response:

 

Thank you for your interest in Kay Credit.  Your application is currently under review.  You will receive an email from Kay.com giving you an application status update within one hour.

 

Is this good or bad?

 

I have 2 positive accts on TU and 1 paid CO from 2004. I believe they pull TU. My score is 612.

I received the same response, I actually had to call them and the rep asked me a few questions for verification and then approved me for $800 CL.

New accts. CapOne, Zales, Kays, Macy's                     New accts. opened at the same time, I'm assuming that's reason for my score drop

Re: Kay Jewelers what does this mean?

I got the same message today.  They called me within 20 minutes because of a fraud alert placed on my credit report.  They verified a few items on my credit and said I would receive an email with my limit which was $5000.  Woohoo!

No doesn't always mean no in the form of getting a letter in the mail it just means you might want to call and ask them to reconsider their decision and look at it again. This happened too me with Discover a year ago, denied online letter came I called them three times and finally got someone to manually review the application and my reports *approved* if $4,500 a bit small but Discover is known to be that way. So when you get your letter if it is a denial call and ask them to reconsider.

 

Just a few thoughts on this....

Re: Kay Jewelers what does this mean?

I applied and got a message that will receive within 20 days, called and was told that they couldn't verify my address, not sure why, since my address on all three reports are current and correct, she said to go to the store and bring id, mail with my addy on it, confused about this. 

 

Anyone approved after providing this info, my equifax is 640 tu is 641
