How long to get halifax clarity

Can anyone tell me how long the process of application to receipt of the Halifax Clarity Card? We are going away to Italy in 4 weeks and it seems like a good idea to use a decent credit card for the hotels/campsite.
Thanks

    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.

    I applied for one of these recently (already have accounts with the Halifax so don't know if that made a difference), but I had card and pin within a week! Hope that helps.

    I applied for one last month - took five days for PIN and then another two days for card, from date of approval. I was pleasantly surprised - my Halifax debit card took nearly three weeks.
    Never argue with an idiot. Especially not this idiot because I'm always right anyway.
