How many cards do you already have (including any that are approved but not yet delivered), and how long since you last applied for one?
Thanks for your advice! I currently have 3 Serves and 1 BB. I have 2 of the Serve cards in hand and the other one + BB haven't been delivered yet. My last approved app was like 5 days ago. I was originally worried about getting unlucky and shut down before I can get approved for 5 each, since I only have a P2 (no P3 onward unfortunately) who lives in the same household. I think I read that ppl in the same household also have difficulty signing up after ban but not sure. Should I be signing up weekly for P2 as well?
