Yeah, it's strange. When I called to apply, they immediately sent me to the credit dept. after taking down all my info... only to be told that the credit dept. won't get the info for a few days. (Bad internal database I guess.)
So, they said I could call back in a few days or wait for their call. They never called. About a week and a half later I called them. Everything had been approved but they were waiting for me to call back before doing the final approval and sending me the stuff.
P.S. Again, they approved me for way more than I wanted, despite the fact I specifically did not want a huge credit amount. But, I just reduced the amount on the spot and told them not to increase it without my permission. Some don't mind having huge amounts of unused credit card space. However, I prefer having enough so I can keep my credit card usage ratios very low, but don't have so much where the numbers become ridiculously high.

Same thing here. Applied Apr 8, the credit guy said the systems were down and they'd process my app the next day. 3 weeks passed and finally got a call asking to verify a couple pieces of info. Now I have to wait another 2 weeks to get my card. And yeah, sounds like they gave me a way higher limit than I would've liked. I'll get that reduced when I actually get the card.

This is a short story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about this, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Whats going on is this: You were randomly pick to follow the Chit Path to Smart Card Success.
1) You apply on Day 1 - MBNA says you will receive card in 7-10 Days.
2) Business Day 2 - MBNA didn't really take you serious - MBNA waiting for you to callback to verify you were serious about Application
3) Business Day 9 - MBNA now knows you were serious - but waits for you to call back again so that they can instantly approve you by phone
4) Business Day 14 - If you converted, Your new account now shows up on your online profile
5) You callback on Day 15 - MBNA says since you were just approved, it will take 10-15 for you to receive your Card
6) Business Day 19 - You call to have this escalated. Supervisor has no idea where your card is, but decides to say it was mailed out last week
7) Business Day 20 - You call to confirm when it was mailed out - Rep says it was mailed out yesterday
8) 1 Month after applying - You receive your card and start spending Cash Money!

I have to thank the OP for the thread... Will transition from CIBC Classic Visa to a cashback card, finally.
Process:
Applied on Apr 16, credit check and approval on Apr 20th, received the card yesterday, May 4th.
All in all, not too bad.
Looking forward to the benefits of the card.
Thanks again._______________

Does anyone know what the actual perks (and respective terms) are for this card? I got the information package and it didn't really specify how the insurance, warranty and price protection mechanisms worked..
