And where they listed "expiration date" they wrote "Temporary expiration date" and gave me a date like - 12 or 15 days ahead. I guess they figure that the card will arrive by that time. So they give you enough online to get you going (assuming one gets approved, of course).

If people need instant credit (and I mean instant) this may be the card for them.
