Thank you for applying for the Amazon.com Visa® Card.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with an immediate decision about your application, as it requires further review. This process can take from a few days to two weeks, occasionally longer during peak periods. However, we will notify you in writing about the status of your application within 30 days. If you have any questions about your application, please call Chase at 1-888-247-4080.
If your application is approved:
* We will automatically add your Amazon.com Visa card to your Amazon.com account and will send you an e-mail informing you of the decision. At that time, you will be able to make use of your card on amazon.com.
* You will still be eligible for the Amazon.com Visa Card sign-up offer. The e-mail mentioned above will also contain instructions on how to make use of your sign-up offer.
* You should receive your Amazon.com Visa card in the mail within two weeks of being approved. You may then use it anywhere Visa credit cards are accepted.
This joins an American Express card in the category of likely rejections. I don't want a credit card, but people say I should have a credit history. But try to get a credit card without a credit history...

America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.
