Virgin Card, How long before you get a card?

hmmm, got accepted to virgin 13.9% 9months etc... about 3 weeks ago. Firstly sent the first signature, but they said they never recived it. now, they sent me another one to fill and filled it in and sent last fri. I rang them to chase it up and they still havient processed it. so how long did it take for you guys as need to BT £500 before 3rd dec or else heavy interest on it.

  • Nope.

    Only needed to sign one document and sent it straight back.

    Didn't have any problems opening the account, not doing the BT.

  • Mine & my wifes arrived within 3 weeks.  We signed up for the free case of wine link posted on this site. Wife received her £60 wine voucher yesterday so 13 bottles of wine now arriving within 7 days.  Mine should be arriving shortly as well so 26 bottles of wine for £10 (P & P) can't be bad...............hic! ;D

    Thanks MSE
  • Applied online on 3rd Nov & just rec'd the credit agreement yesterday. Will let you know how long the card takes if i decide to proceed. I missed any freebie link :( & they've only offered me a £1000 credit limit (tho' I'm not suprised having obtained a card from MBNA with a £3500 limit in August).

    However, my question is: does anyone know if they're likely to waive the BT fee if it's arranged at the time the card is issued, or is it applied each & every time these days?
