Welp, I did it (US Bank Cash+)

One part of me kept saying, "DON'T DO IT!" but I just couldn't help myself!! Smiley Tongue

 

I app'd for the US Bank Cash+.  Unsurprisingly, I received the 7-10 days message, stating my the application is subject to further review.  So what's my next step?  Do I call in immediatlely or do I wait a day or two?  

 

I see others have had luck in the past with reconning, so hoping maybe I have the same fortune, but wasn't sure what my best route to take would be.

I believe that is pretty standard for US Bank. I would call them for sure, which I'm sure I did the same thing when I got that message.

Do you know what number you called?  I'm seeing several different ones on the Backdoor #'s Sticky, so I'm not sure which one is appropriate.

Thanks for the info!  Guess I will wait it out a bit then.  I figured this was par for the course with US Bank.

Re: Welp, I did it (US Bank Cash+)

I would call the status # and it would let you know either still under review or denied and you have the option to speak with a rep and find out either the progress or need more info .
It does not hurt to inquire . Had the same situation today with my business app. I thought I was denied due to an email stating they could not approve me and a letter I'll receive 7-10 days I called and reasons I had my Credit report unlocked and they only want me to unlock my credit report. Do you know if they pulled you credit report already ? If so what credit report they pulled ? I'm curious because they wanted all three unlocked I only unlocked my TU . Was told there reason why all had to be open because the system choices . I guess the system in me didn't chose TU .

No, I'm not yet sure which CR they pulled. I'll probably find that out in a day or two I'm guessing.  I'm hoping it's TU.  And thanks, I shall follow that advice.

I revived the same message when applying for the Cash +, a few months ago. I was reaching IMO. And I was thinking that U.S. Bank was more conservative than other banks but luckily I was approved. Also, I think my app was pending for five whole days at the time.

They pulled Equifax for me.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.
