Can it only be done by phone?!
The way things are at work, and the hours I'm putting in, I won't get a chance to do it until Tuesday, if not later, and I'd rather get it out of the way while I remember.

Blimey - it only takes 2 mins!
However, if you are that busy, you will be too busy to use it anyway?DF0 -

But is only available at certain times.
I am working, throughout all of the times they are available, apart from Tuesday morning, where I will be asleep recovering from the 23hours(ish) I would've worked over Saturday and Sunday.
I was planning on using it online, at night, to book flights to Barcelona. Guess I'll have to use my Barclaycard and keep it open a little longer than planned.0 -
You have to ring them up, it's the only way to activate.
If its the first time you're activating they will offer you a bunch of stuff that you do not need, at an additional cost, ofcourse. If you're activating a replacement card it will be pretty straight forward and will only take a couple of minutes.0
