It makes business sense to charge apps individually. Two apps, two charges. As long as apps are charged individually, the parts of a hybrid app, LoTW and paper, must be combined before the app can be processed. Otherwise, two charges will result. The LoTW part isn't going to be processed separately.
When the paper app part of a hybrid is received it could be put in the queue for a date that represents the date that the LoTW part of the app was received. That would essentially save the mailing time. At one point, we were giving full priority (front of the queue) for the use of LoTW, even in a hybrid. What we found, however, is that some folks would save up some LoTW Qs and submit ONE along with a large number of paper cards (or field-checked credits). Ah! The law of unintended consequences. It was abused, it wasn't fair, so we stopped doing it. Putting the paper app in the queue according to the receipt date of a LoTW app won't save much time, though. When the full turn-around time is 17 weeks, it's only a small percentage of the total time.

You can't have waited until after field checking to do the LOTW - there is a box on the form that must be checked for hybrid submission with LOTW _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: DX Chat Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] Re: Card Checkers Don: That is not quite true. My last submittal was what they call a "Hybrid" submittal consisting of a few LOTW credits added to the main part of the submittal which is 92 QSO's that were field checked. My field checked paperwork was mailed within a couple of days of when they were field checked and when I applied for the partial LOTW credits, and I sit in the same queue that everyone else is in. That submittal was logged in on Dec 27, 2007 and is still waiting to be processed. Per their website, they are now processing applications that were logged in during the week of Dec 7, 2007 so I still have about 3 weeks to go. John Owens - N7TK -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No difference. Everything, whether field checked or HQ checked or partial LOTW or full LOTW, gets processed along with all other submissions received at the same time. Now there is one trick to get you in sooner - it eliminates a mail delay.submit a partial LOTW submission. The minute you push the button on LOTW submit, you are in the queue with all the other paperwork(field checked) or HQ submitted (with card checking) or LOTW submits..they all get processed in order received.
