Does everyone get this? I say I've applied for some adverse credit cards a while ago...maybe 5 months and got rejected from them all and decided to try this one today.

That is the only one from Barclaycard, otherwise you have Vanquis & Capital One.0 -
Does anyone know on average how long the Vanquis welcome pack takes to arrive?
Hoping it arrives soon!0 -
Mine arrived in about 7 days after the " your accepted but want to sell you a load of crap " phone call
. Now that evanquis is up and running should make it easier to check balances and such. 0 -

Got the phonecall on Monday, does the welcome pack have your card and pin with it? (would assume the pin would be separate for security reasons).0 -

Oh congratulations on getting accepted! Have you tried applying for Capital One to further boost your credit file? I started off with Vanquis and Capital One just a little over 2 years ago and now I've had/got some of the best cards on the market. Use your card wisely and it won't be long until you're reaping the benefits of credit cards too!We’ve had to remove your signature.
