    The capital one world mastercard is in another league all together for excellent credit scorers and one of the best cards on the market.

    I know it is different. Was just saying that reply doesn't means rejection straight away which is what the OP wanted to know.

    Thanks for the replies folks, I'll just have to wait and see. Suppose I've got half a chance, has anyone had a straight NO from online application?

    My point being I don't work for Cap 1 so how do I know if you have been accepted.
    So regards the OP's post asking if he has been accepted it would be 50/50,be back in a minute while I underwrite all the applications.

    You had 9 defaults and 1 CCj,Credit card companies should of put a poster up of you in the office as do not approach this person as he/she is a credit risk.

    I would certainly hope so, however I am just not confident :/

    I actually applied for the same card last night and passed all the checks.

    I was then presented with a screen that asked me to sign the agreement/contract, which I did.

    It also gave a screen similar to the one the OP posted.
    I'm hoping that the virtual signature is a good sign

    Passing all the checks and signing your signature don't mean nothing I am afraid.
