Barclaycard Application Problems

in Credit cards
I applied for a Barclaycard (0 per cent purchases) online last night as me and my fella are going on holiday and credit card payment seems to safest way to pay.
I realised afterwards I'd put the wrong sort code in for my salary account - Alliance and Leicester don't print it on your card or any correspondence - and I've being trying to get in touch with Barclaycard since.
"Systems are down...ring back in three hours..." since 10.30am. I was last told this at 8pm, rang back two hours later and they were closed. One call handler put the phone down on me - I wasn't being rude or angry, just 'click' mid call.
I'm not sure what to do now, not convinced by their lack of customer service.
Maybe I'm being hasty but read some not some great things on here.
It doesn't sound like my app is going through yet so I'm wondering if I apply for another c card it will muck up my credit rating.
