edited 20 May 2014 at 6:41AM in Credit cards
Applied for a new Santander credit card a few weeks ago (0% purchasing for 18 months). Subsequently forgot about it thinking that I may have been declined.


Nearly a month later, I receive my "welcome letter" with banking credentials, my PIN and the card in separate letters in the same delivery!


Hats off to the post office but if I was to make it this easy to steal my card, the bank would be on me like flies around a pile of ****!

    Good old Royal Mail. They may stockpile post and deliver it all on the same day, but at least they don't steal it. :)

    Brilliant attempt at spam. Just copy the OP's post. Who'd notice?

    Good work, genius!

    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    i would imagine a dodgy postie would know what is in the envelopes, royal mail has seriously gone down hill...and if rm trusted all their employees why do they have people doing test mail for them, i did this for a year where you recieved and sent items and logged them...i imagine the posties know of some of this because my mail arrived each day rather than once a week.
    goal for 2014....i will manage money better ..must resist shopping..............:A

    Where do start on this one?
    The testing tests the entire network to provide and support QOS figures.
    FYI,posties couldnt care less about panellists

    For those still not getting it. Royal Mail deliver mail,not Post Office Counters.

    To the OP. No doubt item was sent via DSA?

    DSA means downstream access,RM only deliver it.
    Santander means crap bank
    I have a deep burning indifference
