I applied for a freedom as an offer online and it's pending so I called them up and they told me they need a copy of ID and proof of residence, is there a good chance I'll get approved?

Did it show up in the "offers for you" section with the green check?

It was in the offers and I think it had a green check  but I wasn't approved on the spot so it didn't help this time

That's probably why they need to verify your ID and address.

Since 9/11 the government keeps record of each credit card application (to avoid terrorism), that's why they take extra caution, they keep record which IP address you use when you apply.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I'm still seeing it advertised all over as of yesterday.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

I also did all 5 in one visit to Whole Foods.
Does the promo work on a second Freedom card added to the same Android Pay account?
