I applied for this card some time like 4 - 6 months ago.
During the application process, I asked if they have a Web Portal for viewing the transactions. They Said YES and that explained me about the features etc.
After I applied, nothing really happened.
No telephone calls, no verification etc. I waited for some time.
I called one of the Toll free number. The CSR said, they have not received my application.
Then I called the guy who got my application. He is telling that he given it.
AFter going back and forth, I decided not to pursue anymore.
After couple of months, someone called me from Manhattan asking me Why I returned the card.
I was taken by total surprise. I dont want anyone to mis-use the card.
I made few follow-up calls and at last found that the card which was returned belong to some one with the same name and different address.
Anyways, Its not me. I am happy.
Then I bumped into one of these Sales guys in a bar. That guy told me that these sales guys are simply agent who get commission for each application.
Its like you give an application to them, then you will get some money for it.
He also told me that, during the early days of launch, lot of mess up happened with them and few applications were all mixed up.
Good that I never went for this.
To conclude, PLEASE DO NOT VENTURE INTO THIS AND BURN YOUR FINGERS.
Cheers
