Signed up yesterday and a decision wasn't available. I called 1-888-279-7538 today and found out that I was approved for $1000. It'll be my first Schwab card.

You were right! I got a call from a guy confirming the cc and and he said he would adjust my cc lines as I didn't want to close one of my oldest cards, my Star Trek MBNA one. Later another woman calls telling me that she has an application for my account..then says wait you called up 2x? I said no I applied online and once. She had two apps there. The weird thing is that the times didn't synch. The first one was about the time I did it, the second one was literally timed minutes before she called and I had completed the app, an hour before, at least.

BTW..not that I wanted but she said she couldn't give me two lines for the SAME type of product. Zer I have no idea how you got THREE before. LOL

Hi Tasha

I'm so jealous. I remember applying for Star Trek MBNA card and getting denied for whatever reason a few years back at the Las Vegas Hilton. At least I have my free "photo" with ST:TNG crew

I'm going to try for another Schwab card - just got the $150 from the previous deal.

I wonder if MBNA still does star trek cards?

Thanks for the link. I am partial to ST:TNG though. I actually got a photo where they just took a shot of my head on blue background and photo-edited it on the group shot of ST:TNG main cast. I still have that pic

The closest I have to real Star Trek photo is my own photograph autographed by Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) - I had a friend who worked on a set of one of the ST movies.

Trek card

Don't think I got any bonus at the time as I have had it for about 10 years or so. Thought it was cool, but after paying it off years ago, I sort of just keep it around. No perks from using it unless I am at the LV Hilton. There I get 10% off so it is cool to whip it out at Quark's Bar. LOL

So did you actually get a "photo with" or was it just a cardboard cutout?

Unchafed? Not sure what you mean. I don't need the MBNA cards. Even if they had not mixed up all the accounts in the billing, I'd be shucking 'em as soon as the GC arrives. I've got well-established credit that any nonsense with MBNA is not likely to have any impact on at all, so no chafing likely from MBNA. I have little regard for BofA, having dealt with them decades ago and formed an opinion that leads me to shun them. So I'll be all done with MBNA soon enough. Just found the offer of leafy green too tempting to bypass. I'd love to know what marketing ploy is responsible for the big cash payoff to bring in new accounts or to collect info from applicants. And I'm totally SURE that the reps I spoke with were paid to sign up all callers. Nevermind my credit rating, no way my income warrants ANY extension of 'credit', even if it is just thinly disguised debt or an attempt to lure debt-ridden folks to pay interest on hefty balances. I told the CSReps that I was applying to get the Gift Card. -Zer tooshy said: I'm surprised they haven't asked you to get a onetime use cc number instead of issuing another Schwab Visa for you. But I think the CSRs are not trained to reason at all. I wouldn't be surprised if they got paid a bonus for each completed application and will pretty much sign up any warm body. In light of the coming merger with BofA, I would be cautious about over doing repeat applications for the same cc, though you plan to cancel all the cards. Somehow, I don't think this will go unchafed.

Thanks OP. Application was accepted...was told I will receive the card in 5 to 7 days.

I have been looking at this posting for a while and decided to apply. I called in and was approved for $6000.

was approved for two (one for gf one for me). interesting tid bit and i'm sure it's a fluke but gf called to check see if approved and they told her card AND gift card would be sent in 7days.

I always go online to brag about my fraudulent activities, too.
