Tesco credit card

If they say they need to do further checks and then send me a PIN, does that mean I'll be getting a card?

Has anyone been rejected after getting a PIN?

(My credit rating is fine, but I've got too much spare credit at the moment, but want a 0% purchase card for house furnishing purchases in order to keep more cash in the bank. Not really tragic if I get rejected.)

    They said they were going to do further checks (what they are not saying is that if the checks come back bad, then they wont send you a pin)

    I would just wait and see to be honest.

    Wait and see. I have heard of cases where people have got cards and then been told when activating that there was an error and that the card won't be activated. However, once you've got the PIN, you can be reasonably confident you've been accepted.

    The PIN sometimes before the card. Don't worry, you'll get confirmation soon!

    I would say that getting the pin is a strong indication that you have been accepted.

    You often get the pin first, I would have said if they have sent you this, then yes, your checks will have come back okay and you'll get your card very soon.
