Citi Forward App processing :/ UPDATE

[santi16]

So my reports updated and my scores went up so i decided to finally apply for the Citi Forward.

I got the dreaded extra processing message but did get a chance to add some options to my card and then it gave me a printable confirmation page with all my selections and said something like "enjoy your new citi card"

So what do you folks think this means? Is their a number i could call to find out sooner?

they asked me similiar questions on 2 of my citi applications. Did they approve you right after or did they tell you you would know in a few days?

[santi16]

No. They said they needed more time to process and i would know in a few days :/

I apped for the ThankYou Preferred on the 27th and got the same 7-10 days. I called, no way to speed things up. I called every day until I finally heard I was approved on the 31st. I just got an email today from Citi that said I was approved. If I didn't call, this is how I would have found out. Nothing in the mail yet.

Good luck!

Thanks folks. Now its just a waiting game

Man, it was a headache for me when I applied for the Citi Forward last year.  The process took about a month!  They asked me to send in some documents (since I just moved), and then they asked me to send some other stuff 2 weeks later! But when they finally received everything that they needed, my card came in like 2 days.

What were your scores? Did you get the print out confirmation screen after you applied?

Thanks
