Fastest 0% credit card to arrive

I'm wanting a 0% purchase card for sudden high expenditure (which I can afford but would ideally like to have at 0%). Does anyone know which of the current best offers for this type of credit card would arrive the fastest?

  • Do you not have an existing credit card which to pay now - then get a balance transfer card later?

    Physical card or is non-physical ok? Certainly had some cards where the digital card appears available to be used online or added to ApplePay before the physical card appears. 

    Barclays was a switch of product rather than a new account but it appeared in the app in a couple of hours (or less, wasnt sat there checking) but the physical card took over a week to arrive

    Recently got a Chase credit card for 0% purchases, once approved I was able to use it (online) immediately.

    Same.  Applied, approved and bought item all the same day.  

    Pretty quick but the physical card took a few days to arrive.  
    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid
