Hi, I just applied for this card. It is my first credit card. I am going overseas in 16 days. The site said my application had been "referred for review" and I will be contacted in 5-10 working days. On the site I read if I was accepted they would issue a card in about 10 days. I don't think I will get the card in time if they take that long to tell me I'm approved and then I have to wait for it to get here. Any idea if I can ring up and see if they will approve me on the phone? Or any other way to speed this up?
I was hoping to go into a branch on Monday to apply then read they don't do credit card applications at branches.
Cheers
