So my expedited Simply Cash Business card showed up Wednesday from UPS. Sexy looking card. I applied Saturday night.
So I was bored Tuesday night and thought about snatching up a personal card to go with this one (since Amex seems to like me now), and also attempt to get it with the same HP as Saturday, or a SP if denied since I am now a current member.
Pulled the trigger Tuesday on the BCE. Told me it was being reviewed and to call the number. Called them up and the lady told me that the app would be on hold for 3-5 days for security purposes since I had just applied a few days prior for a different card.
Got an email this morning saying, "Congratulations!"
Added the card to my online profile but it didn't tell me a limit. Called up new accounts and they told me it was $2k. A lot less than I was expecting, but at least I will have it at $18k in 8 months.
