Thanks Synchrony! A denial, followed by an Approval

Just got the itch to apply for Sams Club MC, and surely got denied with a 698 fico score and a very high uti on CC's due to divorce. Then something told me to app for walmart but i do know that it would be a hit and miss since you can't really choose which one to apply for, store or MC. Did the app, and a number popped up to call for verification. TU has FA. Called in, and a CSR transferred me to another lady, and as soon as she answers the phone, she said "So you did not apply for a Walmart card?" I said no i did, and she asked me several times to make sure it was not a fraudelent app. I explained her no i did apply but was asked to call in for verification due to a FA on my TU. She went thru each step and told me - to my suprise - that we were allowed to have one store card and one MC only. So she said she would try hard to get it approved for MC, but not another store card. After all verification and some work on her end, i got approved for Walmart MC for $1200. 

Can i ask for cli now or do i have to wait until i get the card in my hand? I want to do a BT to that card and close another account.

 

Thanks,
