    I applied for a Barclay card at the start of the year when the had a good 0% offer on the go that proved to be pretty popular.
    Because of great interest in the card, I had to wait for about 2 months before hearing from them.
    I'm sure that's not normal, but it could depend on how popular any current offer they have is!!

    When I applied for a Barclaycard back in April, I had to wait approx 2 months as well so didn't get my card until June!! I have read stories on here though of people who have applied online and got their card within days.

    I applied in the summer for a barclaycard initial. Applied on Thursday and received card on Tuesday. Three day turnaround!!

    I had to wait about a week to get mine. Wish I never got it now but thankfully I paid it off earlier this month and won't be using it again!
