Yay! So yesterday evening, I got a call from (a very bored very fast-talking representative of) HSBC asking me to confirm certain things on my application. Still not certain that I'll get the card, but I feel better knowing that it at least reached them :-)

Good luck with the card! :)

I had a weird experience with HSBC - they called and said I was pre-approved, sent me a form, I sent back info and...nothing. Nothing at all for three months.

No problem, since I have four cards already, only two of which I carry at any given moment, and only one that I use regularly. I just filled in the application for the lulz and because I felt sorry for the agent. ;p

Then, after three months, I got a call from HSBC OFFERING ME THE SAME PRE-APPROVED CARD I APPLIED FOR three months before. Huh? I told them to check their database history, and when the agent asked if I still wanted to reactivate the application, told them quite succinctly, that I refused to deal with that side of the bank ever again.

I mean, I had the same experience before with Citibank. Once is quite enough, thank you! :D
