Verizon Visa 7-10 letter odd

[Goos]

So I applied for the Verizon visa and it went to 7-10 day and never pulled my credit . So I waited for the letter which came by email and I opened it.  Reason - high risk location for application. I was on my couch . Yes it is risky because it may lead to me doing nothing for hours but other than that it's not too bad lol . So I guess my question is how do I fix that ?

Funny reason !

When you applied, were you on a VPN or behind a firewall that prevents tracking ?

I noticed I get a similar reason sometimes when I apply from work where I am behind a very stringent Cisco content data filter using a cloud VPN.

I thought I was on my Verizon internet actually . Or possibly my home wifi . Just never had that response wasn't sure how to fix it . I'm glad they didn't waste the HP .

Did you go through the actual VZW app to apply for the card. I did and it was an instant approval of the Visa Signature with a SL of $10K and they Overnighted the card via FedEx.

Yeah logged into my Verizon account on the app and apply that way . Which is partly why I was interested in how to fix this problem . Snchrony even pre filled out alot of the things on the app based on my Verizon account .

Yep.    A number of issuers try to geolocate application submissions and if there is too large an apparent discrepancy from the applicant's address of record they will refuse to process the application as an anti-fraud measure.    It wouldn't be typical for someone living in Pittsburgh to be applying for a credit card using a computer whose external IP (network) address appears to place them somewhere around suburban Philadelphia. 

If you're traveling or using a VPN solution on your computer that doesn't use a split-VPN configuration and/or if your laptop is configured to use a SaaS-based proxy service this is a pretty common problem.

We rearranged the living room after Christmas but my living room isn't that big that it was that big of a move . I was on the same cushion I ordered a new phone from recently . And I don't have a vpn. I could see how that might trip them out.  I guess it could be this weird thing that websites think I'm in update new york sometimes and I live in Ohio . So maybe that was it .
