Should I call Discover?

[ibmrad7]

Hi folks,

So I last night I applied for Discover More after seeing a pre-approval. The screen got stuck for quite sometime and eventually hung up. After 15 mins or so I got an email saying They are reviewing my application and will inform me within 30 days. What do you guys suggest me? Should I call them? If yes, whats their recon #?

Thanks

Two self-serve things you could have done to answer your own questions.  1) Type "Discover 30" in the Community Search field and read what other's have listed after applying to Discover and receiving the 30-day notice.  Compare your stats to theirs (i.e. scores, utilization, AAoA, etc).  2) There's a Sticky titled "Back Door Numbers" that you are scrolling past each time you read or post under Credit Cards in this forum.  Discover's recon number is listed -- check the entire thread for new updates.

JayRizzo is right. I'm not sure if I shared my experience on these forums so I'll give you a quick rundown. I applied in December with pre-approval. My screen got stuck as well and I got the 30-day message. I called the number from the application status section of the site, I believe. They asked me some questions about income/rent/utilization. I was then approved for $5,500. 

Good luck! Keep us posted.
