    Unless explicitly stated by the company, it depends on the vagaries of the royal mail. If you haven't received both within a few working days of each other, you need to ring up the issuing company.

    Best sort of Credit Card is a Chip & Signature one:

    NO PIN = No Cardholder Liability for Alleged PIN Misuse.

    No PIn to forget

    No Pin to Compromise (by you or the Banks)

    No Brainer.

    What has this got to do with the OP James? Beyond promoting your agenda of course...

    Simple - Maybe the OP and other readers of this string aren't aware that there is such an animal as a Chip & Signature Card.

    Your attention is invited to the following:

    "
    He had two [URL="javascript:self.name='main';PopUp('you_popup','/pages/jargon/index.html?in_jargon_term=debit cards','350','150')"]debit cards[/URL] stolen from his local gym on 23 August after his locker was forced open with a screwdriver. He immediately cancelled the cards but money had already been withdrawn from ATMs and directly over the counter at two local banks.

    The fraudster had withdrawn £600 over-the-counter at Iain's Halifax branch using a fraudulent signature as the bank does not have a chip and Pin system in place. Halifax immediately refunded the money once it was made aware of the situation.

    Banking rival NatWest delivered a different answer. At NatWest, £250 was withdrawn from a cash machine and a further £1,800 in an over-the-counter transaction using chip and Pin – but the bank refuses to refund the cash. This is despite the fact that it has forwarded CCTV footage of the criminals on to police.
