Anyone else going slightly crazy waiting for their pal? What’s everyone’s time line whose waiting. Mines as follows Sent pal app sept 2 Received September 8th …. Then nothing lol maybe I’ll feel better once someone opens it and it comes online? Doubtful I paid by money order so no way to see when payment comes out either. Mistakes were made.

You will be 2-3 months before you see a credit card charge. Then roughly 1-2 more months until the card is issued. I have seen some faster after credit card charge and some longer.

I’m hoping that they are finally catching up and that’s closer to the new standard. I just want to be able to have the ability to wait in hold to talk to someone
