Sainsburys/Nectar application taking its time...?

Options
So i applied for a Nectar credit card on the weekend of 12th/13th November. The application page said it can take 10 days. Great.

I get a form back on 15th November for me to sign & send away in a pre-paid. It said i'd been accepted, but didn't state what credit i'd been given. No problem.

Post the form out the following day - 16th November.

Not received ANYTHING since.

On the other side of it, my girlfriend did the same application on the weekend of 19th/20th November. She hasn't even had the signature form sent out yet.

No idea if it's been posted out, but delivered to the wrong house (this happens a bit) or what.

What to do? Is it still early days in the world of credit cards?

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Big brother is watching - PIN through today for me & form through today for the missus to sign.

    Now all i need to do is chase Santander & find out why they've not replied to me in 3-4 weeks.

    Do you have a Tesco card though?

    I don't have a Sainsburys card yet.
