    I applied for it, got approval within an hour - found out the inquiry hit that day and the card was sent out the same day as approved.

    I also checked CE the next day and saw that it was reporting already as an account!

    Ender,

    As soon as they set up the account and they started reporting. They reported mine to Experian for over a month now. I haven't seen they reported to my TransUnion or Equifax. I heard someone from this board and they report theirs to Equifax.

    How do you apply for the card?

    Are the rates attractive? Annual fee?

    sub4prime,


    I didn't know what experian score when I applied. I heard someone approved with 620. They pull credit from Experian.

    Hey Ron-
    I applied for DH last night and he just called to check the status and they said it's still "pending", his score was a 651 BEFORE the SF inquiry now it's a 647, is this good or bad?!?! <keeping my fingers crossed>

    Geo,

    I haven't checked my Equifax report since last month and I have monitoring service with Consumerinfo.com. They haven't posted my Equifax report yet. Thanks for the info. Have you ever heard from Evebank? I'm looking forward to hear the good news from you.

    KHM,

    I don't know it is good or not and let say 50 and 50 chances. It means your application is still under review. I haven't checked the status of the application until the following. I applied mine on Dec 29 and I call them to check the status on Jan 1. They told me I was approved. I heard from Geo from this board and they asked him for additional docs to verify address. If they send you letter asking for additional stuff, they may give it to you. Good Luck.

    State Farm is reporting my card to EX and EQ and not TU!

    Ron, My State Farm was reported to Experian one or two weeks before than Equifax. I have Equifax monitoring service and Privista.

    I think that is rare that you card is not in your Equifax report yet because I thinkyou received your card 2 weeks earlier than mine.

    In regards to Everbank they pulled Experian and TU for me. I have heard nothing from them yet. I will keep you informed. Thanks!!.

    Geo,

    My State Farm Bank has been reported to my Experian for one month. It is strange they didn't report it to Equifax and sometimes it takes two months for them reporting to the bureaus. My Everbank hasn't been reported to any credit bureaus not even Experian and I hope that they report to the bureau unlike Generations Bank. Let me know whether Everbank approved or not. If they sent you a letter to ask for extra docs, you probably get the card like mine. I'm looking forward to hear good news from you. Thanks for your reply.



    Ron.
