Application Pending + Approved - Pending = DECLINED

Have you ever submitted a credit card application that went from pending to approved, back to pending, then to declined? I would like to know your thoughts about this. Please share. Thanks.

No data point to offer. Just straight denied! Smiley Sad No parting gift. Walk of shame to the exit tab.

I had issue with PenFed on $10k card approval reversed to declined on my first application with them.  Now they love me.  I gave up trying to figure out credit unions.

Rebuild started in 2014  -  $100k unsecured credit in 2017  -  $500k unsecured credit in 2024.

DON'T WORK FOR CREDIT CARDS ... MAKE CREDIT CARDS WORK FOR YOU!

Alliant did that to me a couple of years ago.

 

Approved (with set SL) - Review - Request POI (Shows same as stated in application) - Denied

 

I dumped them shortly after due to their archaic systems.

NFCU Platinum $50k | Amex Delta Platinum $25k | Elan Financial $19.7k | Chase Freedom Unlimited $16k | Bank Americard $16k | Discover IT $13K | NFCU Flagship Rewards $10k | GS AppleCard $5.5k | Citi Simplicity $3k

Funny. I just posted about them. Line of credit though, strange message.

I think this was a common theme for NASA back in the day.  


It appears that it mostly tends to happen on the CU side than a variety of traditional banks.  Often, an application can be 'conditionally' approved by the system until said conditions are met or unless any manual UW overrides the system approval and declines it.
