I cancelled his 3rd business card and applied again about a 6 weeks later for an INK card he has never had and he was denied.

The letter said they suspected fraud and denied the application, I may has mistyped something or maybe it was because I applied at work vs our usual home internet, etc, etc

They said he can call fraud so I'm trying to figure the best way to play this as I don't want my 85 year old dad drilled with questions but wonder if he should call just so say it was him who applied, verify who he is and say he will apply again online.

I believe options are,

1. Ignore it and just apply again from home in a couple months or so.

2. Have him call and verify it was him but ( if it's even possible) not reopen the application as I want to make sure I get my 20K referral points and I don't want him drilled with startup business questions..

Any other ideas ?

Thanks

I agree with this approach. Best to avoid these calls, but if in the future there continues to be a need for the Dad to call, then I believe it's okay if the son/daughter calls together with them and after the Dad verifies their personal details he gives verbal consent allowing the son/daughter to participate in the call and assist in answering further questions. I have done that with my spouse in the past and it was fine.
