The only sm I've received back was to wait 10 days for them to make their decision. Have heard nothing for 5 days now. My returns to the US are very limited now, maybe once a year so meeting min spends is very difficult, especially in a country were credit cards are rarely accepted if at all with DCC charges.
It's possible that you will not receive the decision via SM, but rather the decision will be posted to your address. So you might want to call them after the 10 business days is up. Or look for other signs of approval / rejection such as the list of accounts in your Chase online account.

I had a Bold approved after SM, but they did the same - response by SM saying wait 10 days, and then sent postal approval.
