Post Office credit card?

Pete.g

I'm too having trouble with the application process, I get to the very last page were the "tick to agree term and conditions" box is. I tick the box then click agree and the page just refreshes and comes up again i've tried ticking and agreeing again but the same this keeps happening over and over again...very frustrating!

Anyone else had this problem?

Pete.

I did have a problem when I first applied when I pressed the final button and it just said something like 'processing' for about half an hour. Did the process again and it seemed to work ok. It seems many people have had problems so maybe their system is not up to the demand? All I can suggest is to call them and do the application over the phone or if you want do it online then keep trying

I applied for my card online last friday 08 Sept and today received written confirmation of approval for a platinum card with a £12k limit. I'd also applied for a balance transfer and noticed that it had gone through 2 days ago. The pin for the card was also received today in a different letter, but I am yet to receive the card (no rush as i don't intend using it).
That's a pretty efficient service !

PS. I went through TopCashback as they are currently the highest payers (£15.60) for the PO Card and it tracked almost immediately.

Will be interesting if you could let us know how quickly the cashback gets registered. I went through rpoints and it took over 8 weeks

Currently shows an "estimated payable date" of 30 Nov 06, about the same as what Quidco, Rpoints would be.

Sorry I worded my question wrongly. What I meant to ask was how quickly after applying for the card did it register on your cashback account, rather than when it will actually be paid out. Rpoints took ages and I had to actually put in a manual claim, so was just wondering whether it was a problem with rpoints tracking system or Post Office in general.

Possibly just an Rpoints problem as mine had registered within 1-2 hours from application.

Thought as much - thanks for the info

I was rejected for the PO card today.

The first time I've ever been rejected for a credit card :mad:

Were you trying to do a balance transfer? There are a couple of other threads here where Post Office employees have been told to stop promoting the balance transfer feature so much, so that may have something to do with it

I've just tried to go on through Quidco, and cannot see a button for applying online!? How annoying.

If anyone can see this button, let me know, at least then I'll know it's just my computer.

p.s Tried it on both firefox and IE and the button to apply online is not there.
