I froze Equifax, and applied for Spark and Cap 1 venture both yesterday. Neither went thro automatically. Gave me the generic further processing needed and wait for letter in mail 7-10 days. Tried calling the recon #, but the CSR said he could only see what I saw, no additional info. Will try to call again today. CK scores are 833 TU and 819 EQ. CK shows no hit on EQ. Don't really have an easy way to check experian.
EDIT1: So C1, pulled exp and TU. I had a freeze on EQ, so no pull on that. My fraud alert hadn't come off Exp, hence the security call any probably why there was no auto approval. Waiting for the cards in the mail or a rejection letter...
EDIT2: So got fidgety and called the app status line and spoke with account rep who confirmed that I have been approved for both business spark and personal venture. This will be my second venture in a year. Now fretting about doing the $7500 spend and have applied for serve after reading MS forum for the last week.

Any other data points regarding using this card for MS avenues such as Buxx or AGC? I need to replace my arrival+, and I will get one of the 2% cards for non-category spending regardless, but it would be nice to know whether MS can be handled.

I can't get orders approved for personal or business AGCs when using the Spark Cash. GCM worked a few weeks ago though.

No issues with AGC. I switch between the two sparks, venture and arrival.

Is Venture churnable? I closed mine in November, 2014. Is it too soon to reapply?

My CapOne card was shut down after few NW Buxx reloads, so be careful.
