@I wish I had an answer for you @orestrus.  I don't know as there are several things these credit card companies look at.  I'd give them a call tomorrow if I were your shoes if nothing changes in the morning...

thank you. I guess they processed pay stub I sent them and now looking at my credit? Why would they take another look if the pay stub was accepted?

Paranoia, on their part maybe? Or maybe they're just being thorough.

 

Why didn't you wait 6 months at least? Lol...6-7 months is the general rule of thumb here on these forums and it seems to work out for many.

 

It could be taking so long because it's the weekend and less people working to review your app. (Especially on a holiday weekend)

yeah, that was a foolish decision to apply before 6 months mark, very foolish. I hope it goes through...

We all make mistakes but only the wise learn from them and grow from them. I wish you the best of luck with this Sir or Ma'am. I'll keep checking back in here until you get a decision.

If your credit profile improves they won't ask for anything next time. It's just you have a shorter or weaker profile than they would like. Chances are, no (depending on how long you wait).

I applied for AMEX ED last week, it said they would contact me.  I called them immediately.  Once they dug into the situation they said it was pending because they needed to verify my identity.  They asked me questions only I would know, and then approved me for 5.5k.  I then applied for AMEX SPG and received the pending message.  I called again and this time they said it is because the system flagged it for multiple applications.  I was told to let the flag expire (about 4 days) and call back this Tuesday! 

 

Wishing you luck
