Post Office CC application time?

Options
Good morning all.

Anyone know what the application time is for a Post Office card? I applied for a Santander Zero card a month ago and after receiving a third request for the signed credit agreement I'm going to give up on it.

We're off to the USA next Friday so I wanted it for then. Wondered if it was worth going for a Post Office card or whether I will have to rely on the trusty old Nationwide card.

Cheers

    Very quick, I applied online but didn't get an instant decision. Three days later the PIN arrived, two days after that the card arrived.
  • I got an instant decision online on the Thursday, pine came the following Tuesday and then the cards on the Wed and my 6 digit pin for phone and internet the next day

    So very quick turn around

    Fingers crossed then. I got an instant yes this morning so hopefully will get it in the same timeframe.

    Hello,
    Just to add to the previous experiences: balance transfer is also very quick!
    I applied online (including a balance transfer application) last Friday and yesterday (6 days later), the balance money was already on my other credit card account, even before I received any mail confirming this, or card or pin!
