The way to cancel depends on the card issuer, but you can cancel through phone, by sending an email, or visiting a branch office. You will need your application number and the date of your application submission, in case of need.
Step three: check back in.
Following your call or email, follow up to ensure they received your cancellation request. It ensures that they are aware you intend to cancel and everything's all settled. If they do not respond in a short while, feel comfortable to return a call or send another email.

You should really preserve all emails, phone records, or messages you send to the credit card company. That's any email, call you've made, or message you've sent them. These documents can be very helpful if you need to review them later.
