Another data point: Applied on 3/10 and got the pending message. Approved 3/16 after checking on the telephone status line. Received C1 letter 3/17 which said C1 was considering my application. Received a call today (3/18) from C1 indicating I had been approved and was given a $5k CL. The CSR said I should be receiving my card in 7-10 business days. He did not know much about the bonus offer and suggested if I did not get the instruction email to talk with the CSR at the time I activate the cc.
