Apply for a credit card in branch or online?
I am trying to apply for BMO World Elite Mastercard. Any difference between applying for it in branch or online? Which one is better?

The bank protecting themselves, as well as you (from identity theft) is no joke. You should be happy they have these safe guards in place.zbigniew wrote: ↑ BMO world Elite is a bit of a joke.

So the fraud officer will come on and tell you that you need to go to the branch to give more info even if you have given everything they asked for online in your application.
Do you wanna cancel? Guess what. You have to show up personally as well with 2 pcs of ID.
Ahhhh world Elite something!

I had no problem with activation, but I had an extremely bizzare experience on actually receiving the card when I upgraded it.zbigniew wrote: ↑ BMO world Elite is a bit of a joke.

While the branches are a higher cost chennel, there are benefits for why they would do this.

Did you click the activate link from an IP not in Canada / near your home location (e.g. from a work PC routed through a US network?)zbigniew wrote: ↑ BMO world Elite is a bit of a joke.
