I wanted a NASA credit card.  The login page to check on my membership application keeps telling me that joining is "FAST, EASY, and SECURE".  I guess 15 days is fast to them.  I finally got my membership approved today after many phone calls and messages (not "EASY").  

I logged in for the first time, and it took me to the worst security question choices I've ever seen.  What would I bring with me if stranded on a deserted island? Who is my favorite president?  What is my favorite pet? (What percentage of Americans answer "dog", I wonder. Not exactly a very secure question)

Anyway, I'm in!  However, I can't remember why I wanted their credit card so bad, and now I'm in the garden.  

I'm posting hoping it will help others realize it does take a while to get into NASA, but they do eventually get there.

Coconuts. You'd be amazed at all the things you can make from a coconut on a deserted island.

A Christmas president.

Pet rock.

Watched lots of Gilligan's Island? 

Congrats OP. I'm really looking forward to the new website. Hope a new iphone app isn't far behind.

I was just going to say that.  I am looking forward to seeing what they are going to do.  

My only concern is, as often happens, are we going to be sorely disappointed?

After 3 weeks of their foolishness I gave up; it was one thing after another and I decided it wasn't worth it.

I labored thru the app just now  AND answered the questions correctly, I believe, only to find out app needs further review and I should hear back in 2-3 biz days. 

What's that all about?

ps. I apped via membership in ACC, for free via "consumer," as recommended here. So thanks.

Don't get your hopes up.  That "2-3 business days" is just a ruse.  They mean 2-3 days after they get around to looking at it, they will send you a message.  You'll respond immediately, then 2-3 days later, they will send you the exact same message again.

Well they were for me.  I got the same message telling me to call in to give them more information 3 times.  Each time I called and the person answering could not figure out what was needed from me so I replied to the message explaining my phone call experience and got the same message again as a reply.  Then once they eventually told me what they wanted, I requested to send in a specific alternate form of ID, they agreed, then 2 days later sent me another message requesting the first document again.  All messages show up in one window. I kept having to say, "Please see above where member services said xyz."  It was a mess.  Thankfully I had read on MyFico forums that Navy is slow but worth it eventually.  I'm not sure about the worth it part yet, but I did experience the slow!

Just received email after apping for membership six (6) days ago asking only for a driver's license for verification. 

Am I home free?
