NS&I - no idea if I successfully opened account

Last night I attempted to open a new Income Bonds account with NS&I but don't know if I was successful or not. I have no email confirmation.
I got to the last question where it asked me to enter my bank card details for transferring in my money but skipped that question as it's going to come from Coventry BS savings account and I don't have a bank card with them and assumed I could later push the money from Coventry into NS&I (Note: I had previously entered my current account details for where income from the Income Bonds will be paid into.)
There was no error message, but I have no email or anything to say that I have a new account. I don't have time just now to wait 30min plus for them to answer the phone.

What is the advantage of doing this over processing a deposit straight to the income bonds account?

How do you assign the interest from the income bonds to the direct saver?

I think that's more than likely an urban myth, as the clearing time for Debit Card deposits is the same whether you deposit into the DS or into the IB ("Debit card and cheque deposits will clear no later than the seventh banking day after being received"). You can only take money out of an account, whether for internal or external transfer, once it is cleared.
In any case, a debit card deposit into the IB will earn interest from the day of deposit, so there is no need for any cunning-plan approach.1 -
