Did you apply via GCR on pc or mobile? With SIN or without?bizee-bee wrote: ↑ I was instantly approved late last night for $7K limit. No big deal. I’m a first-time client, I can dig it. Besides, I won’t need it for much more than the $5K MSR.
Checked GCR at 9:30a ET, nothing yet. Checked again at 11:00a ET, and the $50 rebate is now posted. Email notification of GCR rebate arrived at 10:30a.
My wife referred me to open my GCR account, so she also has $7.50 (15%) posted now too.
Seems like ages since we’ve had GCR cash back added to our accounts.

Applied through GCR on PC browser in Incognito mode with ad-blockers turned OFF, without SIN. I’ve never used my SIN to apply for a Canadian CC, ever. I have opened many new CCs.

Got “visit us at a branch” error when applying online via computer. Applied via iPhone and took a pic of drivers license and selfie and got auto approved.
Didn’t input SIN in both scenarios.

Instant approved yesterday for $10k. Didn't enter SIN and answered the Equifax questions. Got notified of my GCR rebate approval today.

DP: I applied online and was instantly approved. Used my mobile device: opened an incognito tab on Chrome, went to GCR then clicked through to apply. I had to take a photo of an ID document, take a video (move and speak), and answer the Equifax identity verification questions. I did give my SIN.
It was straightforward - surprisingly, for HSBC, which is known for it's very sad late 90s IT system. Fingers-crossed for continued smooth sailing - my first HSBC product!

I read you can use the $100 anniversary rebate from HSBC for more than just baggages/seat upgrades... such as airline tickets? if that is the case then i think this card will cost me a lot less than the $120 capital one card. the 3% travel cashback will also help.
Aside from that, I agree capital one did treat us very well.

I followed your steps and got approved instantly.
Few had mentioned that you need to answer multiple choices of questions from EQUIFAX. I got 4 questions. Make sure to remember your personal credit history. I almost answered the last question incorrectly. Luckily, I cancelled that card yesterday and the rep reminded me when I opened it.
