Lloyds TSB online application

So I took a deep breath and applied for the cash account online. The website would have made me believe everything would be done on the same day which is why I even used the online application rather than going into the branch. Anyways so I called up to ask about the progress and apparently theres a 5 day backlog of applications. Totally dismayed now having to wait this long.
If anyone has applied using the online application process, how long has it taken you to get a reply and were you successful in creating the account? Should I have just walked into the branch or should I do that now?
I just pray I get the cash account now, I will try calling in tomorrow to check on my application.

Why did you take a deep breath?
5 days must feel like a lifetime!
Get Down on hands and knees and look upwards whilst praying!0 -
I applied in branch today for a current account and walked away with account details.
Perhaps go to branch where requested your account to be held and ask them to process the application.0 -
I applied online last Tuesday night and got the Welcome Pack on Friday. Logged on to set up internet banking and got the log in details on Tuesday.0

Oh yes 5 days is a life time especially when you want to get started straight away, but I suppose patience is the virtue. I had to take a deep breath because I recently just opened my Clydesdale account. The account agent over the phone said their system gets updated after 48 hours... so I doubt I will receive any confirmation until next Thursday. We shall see. I want to close my Halifax account asap so I need some form of Visa. Halifax provides a paltry Electron.0 -
I applied online Sunday night welcome pack on the door mat today. All good - Visa Debit on way!!0

Nope no call just a welcome pack today detailing account details and a few other leaflets. Says card / PIN within 7 working days on letter, 3 to 5 days in the booklet.0 -

You mean to say the silver one? Thats fantastic, better than my green ugly Halifax Visa Electron. How many days total did it take for your account then?0 -
