HSBC card arrived today!!

I'm wondering what the average time is in waiting for their 0% card.

I applied online on Jan 5th and today (Feb 18th) my card finally arrived!! It seemed as though I had been waiting since last year!

I'm so glad it's finally arrived as I can now do my tarting!

So my question is....who has had to wait the longest for their card to arrive?

  • Excellent, did you get a decent limit? Im not asking what limit was, just heard others say they offer low limits. I sent my ID stuff back last week, so hope it doesnt take too long!! They are pretty slow though.

  • It was a lot more than I expected after having read comments on here. It's not as much as the total amount I have outstanding, so I'm going to take the opportunity to pay off the difference before my Barclaycard offer (existing customer) comes to an end in two months.

    What's interesting, is that when I had my M&S card (run by HSBC), my limit was twice the amount and the whole process was very quick. I don't recall having to send in a pay-slip or utility bill.

    My tarting days are coming to an end! It's getting increasingly hard to find a 0% deal with no BT fee....
