I just applied for and was approved for a Citi Forward card for 3.5k in step 3 of 5 of the application process. While I was setting up a balance transfer, my power went out, and I did not get to complete step 4 and 5 of the application process. Should I worry about not completing the last 2 steps for balance transfer(probably not), and "other features/options"? I called Citi and said that they cannot access new accounts for 2-3 days after they are created. Just wait it out? I'm still surprised I was approved after being denied for CLI on my Diamond Preferred card with a lower limit on it.

It would be best to wait a couple days then call them and explain the situation. If you tried to reapply right now, it would be another hard pull.

I have to say, it's refreshing when people use their real names. 
Never catch ME doing that.

Well. I definitely did not expect this. Thanks for the response, and another welcome from me. I couldn't wait and called the application center just now, and they confirmed my approval, limit and rate. I believe I have just gotten a whole new level of respect for Citi today.
