in Credit cards
Hi ive applied for a barclaycard sat night and it said processing.
Then i get a text today saying your new barclaycard will be with you in two days.
Has anyone ever received this?
I havent received an email or anythin so i dont know if this is real or not.

I dont know what my balance is or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your balance is £0 ;)

    You will find your credit limit in the paperwork.

    It'll be real. I helped my sister fill in an application the other day, she had a text a couple of days later telling her that her card was in the post. She now has the card. Job done.
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.

    Usually they come separately and not the same day. It's just common sense really.
