If you’re instantly approved for the credit card that you apply for, you should see the good news on your screen within a minute of submitting your application. Whether or not you’re approved instantly, you’ll receive notice of the issuer’s decision via email. This could take up to 14 business days, but applications are generally processed after that.
Finally, if you’re approved for a credit card, you will receive the card in the mail within 7-10 business days of approval. If you would like to check the status of your application, we recommend calling the issuer’s customer service department. Some credit card companies also let you check on their website.
