Hi everyone Just curious if anyone tried to buy a restricted without the RPAL in hand but have the RPAL #? i was recently approved and it'll take about 3 weeks to get the card so im trying to speed it up before the freeze.

Can I buy 2 or more restricted at the same time as theyre my first, would that be a problem to register 2 at the same time? Cause i heard the first restricted they will send me another card. Thankd

I have never not had a retailer require a picture for a restricted. Private, I’m not sure, as long as you have the number and expiry date maybe…?

When I tried online, they didnt ask me to upload a photo, just # and expiry date

Yes but then I’ve been asked once the purchase goes through to send pictures, just my experience though, some shops might be different.

If it’s from a store, ask them if you can put it on layaway until your rpal shows up. I did that for my trap gun while waiting for my pal. Just paid 50% down and the remaining when I had my pal in hand.

Thanks but a layaway wont speed up the process I guess but good idea, at least I can hold the one I like.
