I applied online and got the 7-10 day msg.

I called today to follow up and was told they needed to verify name and address info.

They approved me on the spot and said a credit line would be assigned later today.

As far as one of the first 10,000 applicants, I was told that if you applied through the link and submitted the application, you were one of the first 10k and are registered once approved.

In other words, once 10,000 applications are received, the link will be removed.

Additionally, I was told to get the 50,000 matched miles next May, you have to spend $10,000.

Then you simply mail a copy of ANY FF statement from September 2000 and they will match the ending balance up to 50,000 miles. The matched miles do not have to be flown or earned 2000 miles, just an ending balance!!!!!!!

Too good to be true so I jotted down this friendly gals name in case any problems come up next Summer.

I spoke with Ann in Salt Lake City and her employee id # is F204.
