Sainsburys' CC - how long?

MarieAAP

Hi folks, its me again.

Ok, I have been accepted for a Sainsburys' CC, with a much larger amount than expected - 1/3 more. So generous of them LOL, especially as I certainly don't plan to spend that much on our wedding :P

So how long will it take before I can start using it please? I have some pressing bills that need paying, but am not certain when I can start using it. Does anyone have any ideas about the 'real' time it takes?

Cheers

Was about a week and a half between getting accepted, getting the credit agreement, sending it back and receiving pin and card when I applied.

Yeah look at 5-7 days before receiving the agreement and another 5-7 days before receiving the card after they get the signed agreement

Bills aren't to be paid with credit cards! They are part of your budget Missus don't get into that spiral of uncontrollable debt (Utility bills that is - unless you're referring to Wedding bills - in which case I take that back)

wedding bills (and also the house insurance) ofc

Have got 4/5 alraedy in savings, and will be paying it off 2-3 weeks before the free period has been finished. I love the idea, of for once, of beating the banks at their own games
