+1s application submitted and approved subject to income verification etc etc....Email with verification sent.
Aplied 4th March and emailed income verification details same day. Arrived back to Oz today with no word so send SMS witn "status" for update and received the same message as above: "
...they have received a high volume of applications and they are behind in processing"
+1 rang St George today...card has been posted to local branch and should be there within 2 days
In reality it took nearly 2 weeks for the card to arrive at +1s local St George branch, and she received no notification that it had arrived so it was lucky she popped in to ask
. Now card is activated and ready to go....well to spend 5K!
...and I have just been provisionally approved as well this evening...easy 180K QF pts for $278
thanks DrR
Well spoke a bit too soon. I applied Friday night, and was provisionally approved subject to income verification which I sent straight way. Received an email and SMS next day (Saturday) asking me to contact them to verify some information...only could ring them on Monday morning when they reopen so spend the next couple of days wondering what they wanted to confirm
...rang Monday am, and after waiting on hold for ages, all they wanted to know was whether I had any previous accounts with St George or Bank of Melbourne....really!!
When I reconfirmed I hadn't, they put my application through whilst I was on the phone....after a looong wait, I was then told they had a database problem and to ring back the next day (Tuesday). Rang again on Tuesday (yesterday) and there was message saying they still had a database problem and to call back again today (Wednesday)!!. Rang today,and card approved straight away....asked whether I need to go to the local branch to collect, and was told it will be posted to my home
...go figure!
Anyway, at the end of the day, 180K Qf pts for 2x$139
....should be enough for a 1 way Syd-Lhr QF flight in F
