Keep in mind that the law requires creditors to give you an answer within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/education\/how-to-apply-for-a-credit-card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apply for a credit card<\/a> online, in person or over the phone. You\u2019ll need to enter personal information like your name, address, income, employment status and identifying information, like a Social Security number. To avoid slowing down the process, ensure all the information you submit is accurate and valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-it-work\">How does the credit approval process work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are preapproved or apply for credit cards with preset criteria, you\u2019ll likely know if you\u2019re approved or denied within minutes. However, if you apply for a credit card that requires exceptional credit, you won\u2019t receive an instant verdict. The credit card issuer must manually review your application and credit history, which can take a few days to a week or longer. They may look at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Negative items:<\/strong> Derogatory marks like late payments and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/education\/what-is-a-delinquent-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">delinquent accounts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Debt load: <\/strong>Including your debt-to-income ratio and credit utilization ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Credit score: <\/strong>A high-level indication of your credit health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Income information:<\/strong> How much you earn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, instead of an immediate approval or denial, applicants will sometimes receive a message that their application needs further review. This usually happens for one of the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve frozen your credit reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your income needs to be verified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your personal information needs to be verified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The credit limit you\u2019re applying for is high for your profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are mistakes on your application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lender is currently reviewing an unusually high number of applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If one of the above issues occurs, there\u2019s likely little you can do until you hear from the company. If there\u2019s an issue with your application, such as a frozen credit report or difficulty verifying your income, you can take the necessary steps to move the process along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, it\u2019s recommended to try to be accurate and careful when filling out your application so you can avoid unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-increase\">How to increase your chances of approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to only apply for credit cards with criteria that fit your credit health. For example, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/education\/credit-cards-for-bad-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credit cards<\/a> are designed for people with bad credit, while others require excellent credit. Overall, if you have a short credit history or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/education\/bad-credit-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bad credit<\/a>, you likely won\u2019t be approved for cards with great rewards and interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-check\">How to check your application status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re waiting on a mail-in application or approval that\u2019s hard to get due to high standards, you may be able to check your application\u2019s status online. If that option isn\u2019t available to you, or if you prefer talking to someone, call the issuer\u2019s card services number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"credit-card-in-mail\">How long does it take to get a credit card in the mail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you applied for a card requiring excellent credit, most of the waiting time goes toward the mailing process, which typically takes seven to 10 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"replacement-card\">How long does it take to get a replacement credit card?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your original card has been misplaced, stolen or damaged, you can request a replacement card from your issuer. In this case, the card will typically take 3 \u2013 8 days to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-card-faster\">How to get a credit card faster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you urgently need the credit card, consider taking the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-get-preapproved\">1. Get preapproved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting preapproved or prequalified for a credit card will help you get a card faster because it automates the approval process. You may either receive a preapproval offer in the mail or complete an online form with some personal and financial information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filling out preapproval forms doesn\u2019t impact your credit and allows your credit card offers to be more personalized. Keep in mind that if you choose to apply through a preapproval offer, the creditor may then initiate a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/negative-items\/what-is-a-hard-inquiry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hard inquiry<\/a> into your credit report, which would likely temporarily affect your credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-expedite-shipping\">2. Expedite shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Expedited delivery for new and replacement cards is offered by many issuers\u2014and sometimes, it\u2019s even free. Expedited shipping can take as little as 1-2 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-request-instant-access\">3. Request instant access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to pay bills or make important transactions before your card arrives in the mail, you may be able to access your card number immediately after approval. Check with your issuer to see if it offers this feature, and request an instant card number as soon as you\u2019ve been approved. Then, you can use your card via your issuer\u2019s mobile app or add your card number to your digital wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1054\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1.png 1054w, https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1-768x503.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 767px) 600px, calc(100vw - 35px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do after you get your card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you receive your card in the mail, make sure you follow the steps to activate it. If your card comes with an app, download it too so you can monitor transactions and keep an eye out for suspicious activities. If your credit card came through your bank, confirm the card is showing up under your online or mobile banking so you can track it easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain responsible credit card habits with Lexington Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying and getting approved for a credit card has never been easier, especially if you\u2019ve been practicing good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/education\/how-to-manage-credit-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credit management<\/a>.
