How long does it take to get a credit card? In this age of online applications and near-instant approvals, the question doesn't come up as frequently as it once did. The average Visa® or Mastercard® may be approved in minutes and shipped within days, provided you meet the credit criteria.

Specialty credit cards and high-end cards that require a higher credit score may take longer. Specialty cards, like business or student cards, are designed for people with very specific credit needs, as well as high-end cards, so this approval process could take longer to ensure that the potential cardmember qualifies. A manual review of your application may be required. In some cases, additional information, including proof of income, could be requested before final approval is granted.

How long does it take to get approved for a credit card?

The key to a fast approval is to make sure your credit history is in good shape before applying. Quick credit card approvals typically take place when your application is completely filled out and your credit score is sufficient to qualify. Do some research first and make sure you fit the criteria for approval.

An online application may be a faster way to get approved than sending a mail-in form. Either way, make sure all fields are filled out properly. Missing information could slow down the process and may require a manual review. Accurate information may speed up the approval process.

Credit card issuers are required by law to respond within 30 days, but online applications may be approved in a few minutes. If you're applying over the phone or in person and you've submitted all the correct information, you may also find out if you've been approved within a few minutes. Mail-in applications may take a few weeks.

How long does it take to receive a new credit card?

The time it'll take to receive your new card may depend on the type of card you applied for, as well as factors like potential delays with the mail. Most credit card issuers will send a new card in 10 to 14 days. If you request a special design, which some companies offer, it could take longer. You may also have an option for “rush" delivery if you pay an additional fee.

How long does it take to receive a replacement credit card?

Delivery of a replacement card, in the event that your original has been lost or stolen, is typically done within seven days. Most credit card issuers offer free expedited shipping for replacement cards, just ask. Some may charge a fee for the expedited shipping, while others don't offer the service at all.

What do I do if I haven't received a card yet?

If you've applied for a new credit card, been approved and have not received it after 10-14 business days, there are steps you can take to remedy the situation. If you're in the area, you can visit a local branch office to find out what might have gone wrong. Depending on your credit card issuer, you may be able to request a temporary card. Another option would be asking for expedited shipping, typically at a cost.

What to Do If You Get Rejected for a Chase Credit Card

Have you ever applied for a credit card online and didn't instantly get approved? The first thing you need to check is if you were rejected or if they're still making a decision by calling the reconsideration line. A lot of people who aren't automatically approved assume they've been rejected.

If you're not instantly approved for a card, call the automated status line immediately to check the status of your application. The number may change in the future. h/t Doctor of Credit for the most updated list of recon numbers.

Reconsideration line phone number: 888-270-2127

Once you make the call, they're going to give you a message. If it says they'll let you know within 30 days, it means Chase has not processed the application yet. However, if the message says two weeks, this typically means you're approved. If it says 7-10 days, then it typically means you were rejected for the card.

Important note: these are based on phone messages and not email communication.

If you have the 7-10 day message, this likely means you were rejected. You can either wait for a letter or immediately call the reconsideration line to see if they will approve you. Before calling the reconsideration line, there are two rules you need to be aware of:

1. Chase 5/24 - if you opened more than five credit card accounts within the past 24 months, you'll automatically be rejected.
2. Chase 2/30 - if you have more than two applications within the past 30 days, Chase will not approve you.

Reconsideration Line

When you call the reconsideration line, you're trying to convince the person on the other line to approve the application. You're usually speaking to a credit analyst, so be sure to call during business hours. These calls can vary drastically depending on what your credit profile looks like.

For example, my friend called the reconsideration line after applying for two Southwest credit cards on the same day and had to explain that they were aiming for Companion Pass. After explaining why they wanted the card, the analyst approved the card.

Again, depending on the specific reason the application is under review, your mileage may vary.

Another scenario is that Chase typically issues a total credit limit equivalent to half of your income. You may have to reallocate or lower the credit limits on some cards to get approved for a new card.  

If you go through the reconsideration process and they still don't approve you, it might be worth hanging up and trying again a few hours or days later.

One other factor to consider is that if you are relatively new to credit, it's hard to get approved for travel cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Chase Sapphire Reserve. If you get rejected, the strategy would be to build a relationship with Chase by getting a Chase Freedom for 3-9 months before applying for a higher tier card.
