How long did it take your accounts to get approved? Mine was on hold before, and it got taken off, so I clicked the button again for re-approval. And its had the "congratulations, your account will be approved in 3-5 buisiness days" text up for a good 10 days. Is anyone in my same boat?

Took me about 2 hours. Looks like Gratis' problems aren't just in the STV and shipping departments.

I got my 5th refferal at like, 1 in the morning. Submitted approval, and came back home around 3, and was approved, and ever since then, I've been processing....

It took my exactly 5 business days. Placed my order on 11/11 and have been processing since then. (

i was on hold for about 1 day, then taken off, then i requested approval, waited about 6 or 7 days, somehow went backwards and had to hit "Request Approval" again, than i waited about 5 or 6 more days, got approved, and now i placed my order and i'm processing (have been processing for 2 days so far)

Oh no, you don't want to be processing ?

I've been 'processing' for the photo ipod since 11/12 and I find it more frustrating than having your account reviewed or being stv (I'm a 10/13, transmogrified 11/23 stv for the ipod too), because when they're 'processing' your order, you really wonder what they could possibly be doing.

Is Gratis transcribing my order in Latin in a decorative hand on an illuminated piece of parchment? I don't know.... What I know is that, while they're doing whatever it is they're doing, backorders pile up at the vendor, and when we're done processing we'll go right at the top of that pile.

I hope I'm wrong, but if I understood properly how the system works, it really seems like 1 day of processing is not simply one more day to wait it will transform into 2 days of stv in the future...
