Online Credit Card Application
Getting a credit card application before was a bit difficult. You would have to call a bank, go there in person, and fill up very lengthy application forms. After submitting the forms, you would have to wait for the reply.
That was the traditional way, but many people are still going through that process every time they apply for a credit card. But what if you’re a busy person who can’t take the time off away from work to make an application? That is no longer a problem nowadays because of the internet.
A much quicker way is to secure an application online. However, there are those who are unsure, and are reluctant to make an application using that modern method because of security issues. There is no need to worry because credit card applications made online is just as safe as that made in a bank.
Most of today’s banks which issues credit card applications have their very own websites. All you have to do is to make a little research on the net and find the different websites of credit card issuers.
You have to be a qualified applicant, which means that you should not possess any of the disqualifications set by the bank. There are also independent sites which offer credit card comparisons to help you in choosing the best credit card to suit your lifestyle.
Once you visit a particular site and decide to make an application, you will usually find summary boxes which contain specific details regarding the different rates, charges, fees, cash advances, balance transfers, and other important facts. Most sites have links to their conditions, terms, and company information. This makes it a lot easier and quicker to make an application online.
In securing an application online, you would have to provide the following information:
1. Your name and address
You need to provide the company with your full name, birth date and marital status. The maiden name of your mother is often asked for certain security purposes. Your address and postal code is also needed. Contact details such as an email address and telephone number are asked.
2. Employment records and home ownership
Your employment status and occupation is important to a bank, and for you to qualify for a credit card application, you should be working for 16 or more hours every week.
Credit card issuers are interested to know if you own a house or if you’re renting one. Other information that they would often ask are mortgage payments, annual income, and what specific credit cards you have at present. This is needed to check your credit history for them to determine the risk involved just in case they approve your application.
3. Other services
Online credit card applications also offer their prospective clients additional services like household, travel insurance, protection insurance, and many more.
In case you’re making a balance transfer, you would need to provide details about your previous credit card.
Once you are finished in filling up the application form online, it would only take a couple of seconds to wait for the response. In most cases, additional information is asked before you are actually given a credit card.
You have to undergo this process before the bank issues a card. Although it requires a little amount of your time, for the bank it is a big deal already because they don’t want to be at great risk upon issuing a credit card.

the only thing more dangerous than someone with bad credit is someone with no credit. they are wary of you since you have no established credit, your a student blah blah blah. it takes them awhile to verify your status, residence, job (if you have one), and your account status. if you had established credit then it wouldn;t necessarily take this long to approve or deny your application. if you do get this one and are financilly responsible; when you apply for other cards in the future, the response time will be a lot quicker. basically, once they can pin you down, see you can make payments, you'll get it.

I had a similar experience with Washington Mutual. They said that a credit card application could be approved in as little as 30 seconds. However, when I applied they told me that a decision would be sent in the mail. I thought it meant I was declined, but about 2 weeks later I received my card in the mail. Also remember that if you are declined you have the right to receive a free copy of your credit report. They will instruct you on how to obtain this in the letter they send you.

I would have said Tiger Direct is over all a good company. However tonight they pissed me off. They wanted me to give them part of my Social Security Number? Considering that this is the same info my bank asks me for when I contact them to verify I am me it is not going to happen. I am all for fraud fighting and if that means it takes a day to ship my item cool. But asking for any part of someones SSN? NO!!!!!!!!
I have told them if they ask for it agin they lose my business for good.

Even promotional offers that offer pre-approval with no credit checks and no job verification still have criteria that must be met prior to approval.
Whenever you are denied credit, the company must send you a letter with the reason for their decision, so wait for the letter and that will give you the exact reason.
