Here’s how to check your U.S. Bank application status:
- Application Status Phone Number: Call (800) 947-1444, choose the first option from the menu and enter your Social Security number. U.S. Bank needs your SSN to locate your application.
- Online Status Check: There are two ways to check your U.S. Bank credit card application status online: using your online banking ID and password or with your name, birthdate and Social Security number.
- Three Possible Statuses: You will be approved, denied or told your application is still pending.
- Standard Decision Timeline: You will receive a decision in the mail within 7-10 business days.
- When You’ll Get Your Card: You’ll receive your card within 7-10 business days of being approved, if you’re approved.
If your application is denied, you can call the U.S. Bank credit card reconsideration line at (800) 947-1444. Reconsideration lets you present your case to a credit analyst who can consider factors a computer algorithm might have missed as well as any relevant changes in your circumstances.
For those of you who have yet to apply, there are a few more things to be aware of. Perhaps most importantly, there are U.S. Bank credit cards for people with credit scores ranging all the way from bad to excellent. But they don’t all have U.S. Bank in their name. Many credit cards issued by U.S. Bank are co-branded, which means they’re named after the company or organization they’re affiliated with and often provide special benefits related to that group.
Plus, some offers are better than others for different types of people. It’s all about finding the card with the best terms for the types of transactions you plan to make that also gives you high odds of approval.
