Need some advice. I need a new credit card asap, however at the moment i’m away abroad working for the next 6 months. Will be back in the UK maybe once every six weeks or so if i’m lucky, but only at the weekends. Need to know which credit card companies send out credit cards non-signed for delivery, as i won’t be able to sign for it. I can’t go pick it up from my local post office depot, as cleverly they're closed at the weekend and i can’t even get anyone else to pick it up for me, as only the person it addressed to can pick it up and you need ID.

I’ve tried ringing and asking some credit card companies, but with limited success, think they all think I’m some sort of fraudsters! Doesn’t help that i live in London, a credit card fraud hotspot apparently. The only help i’ve got so far was that HSBC could send me a card to my local branch to pick up, but guess what it’s not open at the weekend!

Please can someone help!! Thanks

Just remembered that there is an option of collecting undelivered post from a post office, rather than the post office depot. There is a charge of 50p. You need to choose a branch which is open on Saturdays.

Or couldn't you do a post redirection to a trusted friend's house?

Finding one that wants a signature would be tougher. I don't know of any that use anything other than regular post with no signature, in a sample size of six or so different companies.
