Yes they did pull Equifax.  I was a little worried because I've opened a lot of accounts in the last 6 months.  They didn't ask me for any pay stubs, although I was prepared to send them.  It wasn't an instant approval because I have a fraud alert on my reports.  After speaking with a CSR this morning, it was approved 5 minutes after.  I logged in and had to electronically sign documents and that was it.  The computer originally selected the $20,000 number, not me.

Congratulations.  Why cash rewards rather than Plat Rewards though?  That gives 3% on groceries as well as the 5% on gas.  (And unlike BCE, is uncapped)

Hmmmm....good question.  Do they let you switch?  Since I just got the official approval it's not like they made the card already.
