4 lost apps....now what

I know this has been talked about 10000 times about lost applications but im wondering something that I couldnt find, after them loosing your application on the web have you had them go through in the future. Basically i've had 4 apps lost in the last 2 months ive tried, twice using cc twice not use cc and using diff codes. I know i could phone in an application but I dont really want to im just wondering if after them losing 4 of my apps should I just give up trying to sign up on the web. Any opinions would help thanks.

I'd say phone it in. The hassle of calling won't seem like a big deal once your account is approved.

But expect to receive some of your enrollment packages in around 4 months. It's happened twice to me now (once just today!). I literally applied 4 months ago, and have had 3 new accounts since then. But today I received an enrollment package from over 4 months ago. Needless to say, it is going back...

Jake77444 - I'm don't know why you don't want to phone in an app, but it may be the only way you'll get an account approved. More is not necessarily better with web apps (the more you try, the more the CH supercomputer decides that you are not worthy). It's probably like credit and insurance. The more you are denied, the less willing anyone is to give it to you.

Why not try a phone app and let us know how it goes? Unlike the routine we go to over the phone to cancel account, the new account CSR's are really, really nice to talk to and they always tell you to have a great day/weekend/etc. when you are done.

Yeah, I also don't understand when people say "I don't want to phone in an app". Why not? You'd rather gamble on, and deal with the hassles of a web app, why exactly? So you can grunt about in a dvdtalk forum?
Just call it in and use a cc. And always pay with a cc. It will most likely save you some headaches. CH likes it when accounts are paid on time. It is one factor which affects your future potential to open new accounts.

It's funny 'cause it's true.

Do they just do this (lose apps, ignore or whatever) with those who apply over and over. Because I have applied about 5 times and never had a problem with response time.

I would guess some people are afraid the CSR will put them on the spot or pressure them for things they dont want.

They will try to sell you a trial membership in a "savings club" and also ask if you have a BMG music account. Just say no thank you and you're done.
