Other noteworthy data points: Applied via SCT (Shopping Cart Trick) method. Registered account, put about $150 of merchandise in the cart via private browser in Safari on my iPad (iOS) and got the offer. Got the offer, applied, was approved and closed the transaction. I do not recall getting a email confirmation of the approval.
I applied for this card because: Wanted to test the SCT method and see if it works. Won’t know for certain until I have the card in hand, but it looks promising.

Hopefully you're actually going to have use for it and just didn't do it to test if it'd work. Otherwise I'm sure there would have been better ones to test it out and you could find use for.
I have women in my life. Plus, I know it can be used at BBW and I actually enjoy their "man scents." Lol.
