Question: Who else is experiencing this? What can he do now with GCR to get his rebate?
Preacher, everyone who applied through GCR in mid-Sept and missed the cutoff for new applications is affected. There is nothing that can be done right now. People have already reached out to GCR, including my wife, and have been given similar information. She contacted GCR with a secured message, the response was:
"Mrs. JJJ, your application is in the reports but not the approval. We have not received an approval report since mid-September. MBNA will resume reporting once they re-start their affiliate program. They said November but they would not give us an exact date. Hopefully there are not any further delays."
So, they cannot give any of us the $50 GCR rebate until MBNA starts to report back to GCR with the list of approved cards (i.e., those that have the GCR signup code attached to the application).
What you CAN do right now is be proactive and contact MBNA and verify with them that they see your son's card application has an attached code/note that indicates that it was applied for through GCR. If all is good, then thereafter, just patiently wait for the good times to roll in.
And, hopefully the WILL roll in.
