Help! What do do?? Applied for HSBC card by mistake and gave wrong email address

[Anonymous]

OMG. I don't know what to do.

I use the HSBC preselector to see how my experian score is doing, based upon the card offer that they gave me I know if it is lower,or getting higher because AF's fluctuate and so do the types of cards.

I did that again tonight and it showed the HSBC Weekender. However, when I filled out the personal info part I just entered a generic email address based on my name because my real email address is so long and I was being lazy and wasn't going to apply for anything so it didn't really matter.

Well,  I clicked next thinking I was going to the screen to see if there was an AF. But then a screen came up and said "application is in review- you will receive an e-mail with follow-up information".

I started freaking out:

1. because I didn't intend to apply BUT more importantly

2. because they won't be emailing me because they have the wrong email address. What should I do??

I never thought this would be an issue because when I did try and apply again they gave me the "too many HSBC cards" line. I don't know what I should do now!

No offense, but HSBC and good cl's? Lot's of people may have their cards but I don't recall anyone with a decent cl with them. At least not being reported here.

Lol, I wasn't really apping just seeing if my Ex score was getting higher without pulling a score because my balances updated today and alot of them are at o.

I just wanted to see if they would preapprove me for a card without an AF.

I'm not apping anymore...I actually don't even need anymore cc's,even though I don't have high CL's because I just don't run that much money through every month. I never buy anything I can't pay for from my checking acct because I pay in full every month and so I don't need anymore credit.

Just worried that something may happen due to fake email address because I think someone actually has it.

hopefully it will go into someone's spam folder, & you don't have to worry about it!  you can just change your email once you get the paperwork, right?
