Tesco Clubcard credit card

mab2000

Hi

Ive just applied and been accepted for a tesco credit card. Couple of questions really. Firstly, how long has it taken in peoples experiences on here to receive their card? Secondly, when they send the pin number separately, do they send it once the card is activated or do they send it a few days after they send the card out? Also, anyone know how the buy now pay later function works with buying from Tesco Direct. I cannot seem to find anything on the tesco direct site that is available for buy now pay later.
Thanks

Hi,

I applied on Friday 5th Jan and had the PIN delivered Thurs 11th and the card delivered Friday 12th Jan.

Don't know about the by now pay later but I'm sure someone else will.

Just wonderimng what sorts of limits they issue especially as it crunch time. when i applied a year, i got offered 2.5k limit, my income was 28K

That sounds like a quick turnaround hopefully i may get it soon so i can get the thing i need.

On the subject of account limits, i earn about half of what your annual salary is, yet they have offered me a £2.5k credit limit. But i know that i must have a good credit rating as i don't have too much credit, haven't missed payments etc, and have run another credit card over last year which i clear monthly.

pin comes seperate for security reasons

imagine the field day anyone could have knowing theres a credit card AND pin number in the same letter, if it were to fall in the wrong hands

EDIT: sorry misread what you said

pin usually comes before

Looking at this myself. Anyone know how you can actually see what "selected items" are available under Buy Now Pay Later.

......

Ignore I've just found a number of Sofas with 'buy now pay nothing for 6 months' under the description

Well done dazza.mk for actually spotting something on Tesco direct that is available on buy now pay later! Ive looked at loads of things on Tesco direct and it seems that they only have sofas available on buy now pay later. Hardly an offer to shout about!

Now that the new catalogue has come out ive notice that theres a much bigger variety of products available for buy now pay later ( eg. beds, laptops, TV's). This makes the offer of buy now pay later much more attractive!

never-in-doubt

anyone know if the tesco card is actually processed at the same place as the natwest cards etc, i.e. southend-on-sea or if you have been refused RBS card can you still get Tesco or are they directly linked (like virgin and mbna etc)?
