How long?

Hi all
To my surprise I have recently been accepted for a life of balance credit card with Sainsburys. Anyway I still don't know how much I will be allowed to transfer, and the CC I wanted paid off has not yet been credited with any funds. I was sent a pin number several days ago. My questions are how long before I get the Sainsbury's card, and also will I have to do a manual transfer of funds or will this be done for me? Thanks

    If you've got the pin, the card should be with you within a week. As for the transfer, if requested during the application, it will be done automatically.

    Some have reported issues with BTs from certain cards such as Vanquis, what is the card you're transferring from? I haven't had a Sainsbury's card myself, but I've recently performed transfers with MBNA and Barclaycard, it's a pretty smooth process.

    Hi
    Thanks for the response :T. It's from Barclaycard ! I hope not much longer-their interest rate is scary and card is maxed out!:mad: at myself, but hey-ho I've learned.
