Others will have waited that long but that's not important.
Call them to see when it was despatched in case a replacement is needed.
If you haven't had the PIN, it's probably still in production.1 -
Apparently the pin is activated via the app, but i need the card to activate the app and obviously pin0

I seem to remember that mine came in around ten days - possibly towards two weeks...1

Yeah i hope it does arrive in the next couple of days, don't really want them to have to wait another 10 days if i have to contact them to send out a new one.0

I think I would contact them and ask where it is.
Not so long ago, my friend had her credit card intercepted by a fraudster who bought many things online to the value of £2k. She didn't know until she chased it.
All they needed to purchase items was the card number, expiry date, three digits on the back, and a name. I have a Virgin card and the information is all there for the taking. It didn't take as long as ten days to arrive.

Yeah i am trying to call them now and see what the situation is. Not a very good start from them i must say0

The card will take time to be produced and also a pin number sent out in a separate envelope ,probably takes about 2 weeks so not really a bad start from them ,if you needed the card that urgently you should have applied earlier so technically not a good start from you.Kevin1892 said:Yeah i am trying to call them now and see what the situation is.

Ganga they do the pin on the app, but i need the card to access the app. I rang them and they said wait till tomm and if not received then they will try and send it in one working day.0

I do think that a ‘virtual’ temporary card should be issued the moment you’re accepted and registered/logged in to the CC providers app prior to physical card turning up. That way, if you need to spend straight away, you can
If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.
