    Anything between a couple of days and a month plus. IME the PIN and card arrive on successive days - not necessarily in order.

    It depends who the company is.
    If its Virgin, a few days. If its Abbey/Santander, three months!

    That is, if you get it all! Or you get the card and they send you another form. Then it's in the lap of the Gods whether they block the card, close it altogether or take away the number they first thought of!

    You have never known true incompetence until you've dealt with Abbey.
