I decided to pull the trigger on a Mycard card - the black one with Qantas. $750 annual fee.

On the website, I had to enter ID details. I entered my details correctly but it said they couldn't verify me. I tried twice more. Then it said they couldn't proceed with my application because I had failed the ID verification. I am locked out from applying - seemingly for ever. When I phoned the customer support number they just said it was a known issue with no work around.

Sadface.
 
I've read many instances of this. Apparently the (much longer) manual verification option is a better option. I'm going to give it a go and I'll report back.

I have also just tried this application, and suffered the same. Contacted mycard who are stating 'they will forward to the relevant team and to try again in 24/48 hours'....
Did you have any luck with this, or manage a manual verification? The online agent stated it's online verification only.
 
Happened to me too when I tried applying last week. Interestingly my wife had no issues with her application and hers was approved within a few minutes.

I haven't tried re-applying though, and I don't know if I would like to contact the customer service (from what I've read so far, it sounds like there's no use giving them a call)

When I called them they said there was no work around. I am locked out permanently and cannot get the card. They said to try again periodically to see whether the glitch has been fixed.
 
Now I'm actually curious if this failed ID Verification will also have an impact on applications for NAB Partner cards (formerly Citi), like the Qantas Money credit card
