Capital One Card

Hi there

I applied for a Capital One World Mastercard (?) yesterday (the one with 4% cashback for 3 months) and was approved. I have an expensive purchase to make on 22 October, and just wondered how long others here have had to wait before they finally got the card through?

I'd like to make the purchase on that card for obvious cashback reasons, but don't know if I perhaps left it too late before applying.

Would be grateful to hear from anyone about how long it took in total for the card to arrive. :)

Thanks.

    I got my card within 6 working days of sending back the signed application. However, I am now waiting for my PIN which will not arrive for some time because of the Mail strike.

    Applied for one and was approved on line last week, paperwork arrived within 3 days. This says card should arrive app 10 days after you send back agreement so you should be OK!

    Thanks for the responses, guys, good to know I might be in luck!

    Yant1 - I'm not a female footballer at all, for which I am sure many football teams are grateful. But I do have a good job in London and have an excellent credit history which I'm sure plays a part. :)
