There's a little more to the story than just my last post let on. I was approved, and then received a denial letter. Over 2 weeks later, I still hadn't gotten the card. I wasn't calling to confirm the bonus. I was checking to make sure my application being both approved and denied hadn't caused something to get stuck somewhere in the process. Or, as I said when I called, I was "checking on the status of my card, since it hadn't arrived in more time than I had been told it might take." Same question, different wording.

But yeah, I agree 100% - my general rule is don't call about anything, pretty much ever. I had been trying to keep myself under the radar - the only reason I called was concern over new, stricter policies, and how those might affect my ability to push something through if needed.
