Discover

After requesting personal information that took 20 minutes to process due to the inefficiency of the company, he told me that my card would be sent to me after my credit was approved.

The Company misrepresented the truth regarding my approval status on the get information from me to make a card application. This practice should be stopped by using other card companies. This is not the first occurence for Discover.
