MBNA Promotional Rate

Posts: 4 Newbie
I've applied for a new MBNA All-round credit card with a 0% 30 month introductory rate for purchases, balance transfers and money transfers made within the first 60 days.
My question is, when does the promotional rate start? Is it from application acceptation or card activation? The reason I ask is that it's already been 2 weeks since my application was accepted and I've only received the PIN and direct debit details. Not the card. Have I lost 14 days of my 60 already?

The only definitive answer is to call them and ask.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards. I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly, and I can move and merge threads there. Any views are mine and not the official line of moneysavingexpert.com0
