    I applied for a platinum visa on 10/30, they pulled TU. I called them a week later, they say it is still pending further review and it may take 30 days. I figured I was declined but today, they pulled Experian... going on 20 days now. Good sign or bad sign?

    Neither good or bad.

    All I can tell you is I am in the same situation. Applied 11/9 and the app. is pending. Was told to wait 17-30 days.

    Rubyjean said that there was a backlog and they are working through it.

    Since you applied before I did, you'll be getting a response before me. Let me know what happened, OK?.

    word of advice: call the credit dept talk to a sr analyst. They will approve or deny on the spot.

    It may take up to another week, still a back log.. Try calling 800 421 2110 in about 7 days and ask to have the status of your app checked..

    Good Luck

    I actually applied with MBNA via phone and was approved within 15 mins. This occured on the 5th of Nov and I received the cc a last week.

    I also applied at Bank One and it's close to 3 weeks with my application still pending.

    Best regards,
    Mirage

    Have they checked more than one report? Is this typical?

    Yep.

    They pulled TU first, then EXP a few days later. Haven't touched EFX (yet....).

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed though. As long as I don't get a letter saying I'm denied, there is still hope.

    Or they may surprise you by approving you for a
    $ 200 CL. When I applied I was told they cannot approve me but later sent me a card with the $ 200 CL. I have still not figured out why they would do that, I mean why not just decline me instead.

    Was the application a Pre Approval? if it was and you have not applied for credit at MBNA with in 90 days..or do not have a BKO on your credit reports, a Credit Card has to be sent to you.. That is why the credit line is only 200.00..

    Yeah, I got a response... not the one I wanted :(
    It actually took a little over 30 days...
