Santander 123 - How long for a decision?

SuperAllyB

Hi

I applied for a Santander 123 credit card 8 days ago, but still haven't heard anything. Already have a 123 current account and a Zero credit card.

Any idea how long these things normally take?

Very helpful. Not really in a hurry though, just wanted to draw on the experience of others.

Took a little over 2 weeks for them to come back to me.

Did you get a card or a rejection?

Can't answer your "how long" question (when I got mine it was a guaranteed acceptance offer), but just so you're aware, you can shift some of your limit over from the Zero card if your application is successful.

I did just that, so I could maximise the 0% on purchases offer on the 1-2-3 card. After all, I didn't need a near £10K limit on a card I only used 4 times a year on holiday!

Card. That arrived about 3 weeks after the application.

HTH.
