Santander Credit Card application - how long

Does anyone know how long Santander are currently taking to process credit card applications? I applied last Sunday, had an email saying 3 days but have not heard anything...

    I applied on Saturday 17th Jan and had my card to use by the following Saturday, I was able to use it online and if I remember right, the pin came through a few days later.

    I suspect it will be through anytime now, prob early next week.

  • I just applied today and got the same email. "SidJames" have you heard by now whether it was accepted or not and if so, when did you receive the card?

    Not been on the site for 16 days since posting this


    Anyway, why not just wait and see if you get the card or ring up and ask the bank - give them 3 days first as they state

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
