Halifax credit card delivery time

Hey guys,
I applied for halifax credit card 2 days ago online and got approved instantly on (Saturday)..they said it will be with me within 7 working days.. considering today is Scottish bank holiday will that delay in me getting the card and pin number? And what are the chances of getting them both by Thursday or Friday this week as I was going away on holiday this comming Sunday?

    Good luck with that.

    I see so many applying very late on and expecting it be here before they go away.

    You might get it. You probably won't. The seventh working day is well into the following week.

    Maybe, maybe not lol. Your guess is as good as ours.

    Some CC companies send out cards pretty quick (Barclaycard) whilst some are very slow...

    Your changing the day to make it sound better.

    You won't get the card in time

    Hi - although it is technically a bank holiday in Scotland, none of them take it. They harmonised their holidays with England and Wales in 1996 so the published Scottish bank holidays are now meaningless. Don't know if this helps ;)

    I ordered a new cardholder for my Clarity.
    That was nearly three weeks ago - still not arrived.

    I should call them.
