How to Get a Credit Card Within 2 Weeks

Online Creditors

1). Log on to the websites of large credit card issuers like Capital One, Chase and Citibank. These large banks can offer instant decisions on many credit card applications.
2). Review the credit cards each bank offers and choose the one that best meets your needs. Enter your personal information, including name, address, Social Security number and income information, into the online form and submit the application. Wait for your application to be processed. Even if you do not get an instant decision, you should have a decision within two weeks.
3). Apply for several other cards at banks touting instant decisions. You can stop applying once you receive an instant approval.

1). Visit the bank where you keep your checking and savings account. Ask the bank representative about any credit cards the bank offers. Having an established relationship with a particular bank can make it easier to get a credit card.
2). Ask the bank representative how long it takes for a new credit card application to be approved. Apply for the card if the decision can be made within your two-week time frame.
3). Complete the application for the bank's credit card and wait for it to be approved. Some banks provide instant notification of the approval decision, while others can take a few days. Keep a copy of your credit card application and follow up with the bank if you do not receive a decision within a week.
