If you're approved
Most applicants get a decision within minutes. If approved, you'll see your credit limit and terms. Your card typically arrives within 7–14 business days. Read your cardholder agreement when it arrives and then activate your card.
If your application is pending
A pending status usually means the issuer needs to verify something — identity, address or income. You may be asked to upload documents such as a driver's license, utility bill or pay stub. Respond quickly; incomplete verifications often end in a decline.
If you're declined
A decline is not permanent. Common reasons include recent late payments, high utilization on other cards, too many recent inquiries, insufficient income relative to debts, unverifiable identity, or an open bankruptcy.
Your adverse action notice
Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you're entitled to a notice explaining why you were declined (or the right to request the reasons), the credit bureau used, and your right to a free copy of that report within 60 days.
Treat the adverse action notice as a to-do list. The listed reasons — 'too many inquiries,' 'serious delinquency' — are exactly the factors to work on before you check again.
