First Progress says they aim to respond to applications in “3 weeks or less.” You can also pay $19.95 for “Expedited Processing” to get a decision “up to 7 days faster.” But it’s really not worth paying, since it’s not a guarantee of anything.

How to Check Your First Progress Application Status:

Call your First Progress credit card’s customer service number at (866) 706-5543

When you’re connected to a representative, give them your Social Security number so they can look up your application.

Listen as the representative tells you your application status: approved, denied or pending.

Get a decision within three weeks, if your status is pending. Get your card within in 7-10 business days of approval.

If your First Progress application winds up being denied, you may want to call and ask if they’ll reconsider. If you can demonstrate that the reason you were rejected is no longer an issue, you may get the ruling reversed.
