When does the agreement begin?

When applying for a new 0% card,when does the agreement actually begin?
Is it when they receive the signed form back from myself? or when you actually apply?
I was just wondering if i could hold back the signed agreement for a couple of weeks,if things were progressing a bit too quickly if that makes sense?
The consensus seems to be to apply for a new card 6 weeks before your present card runs out,but if the new card company is really quick in turning the application around,could you slow it down a bit?
Or do people just get the new card asap,and possibly loose a month off their current 0% offer.
Any thoughts?

Nothing to stop you holding it back - but the amount of interest free you get may well reduce as the 0% may run from the time you applied.
Probably not worth the risk.
