    Opened my account a week ago yesterday and still not received the debit card, seems like a long time, anyone else's take this long?

    Yes, it's normal.
  • My card hasn't arrived yet, but I can see the details in the app.

    Also, could I hypothetically buy 30 lots of £5 amazon gift cards to apply to my account to satisfy the 30 transactions in 60 days criteria?

    my card arrived in 5 days.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Unless excluded in the offer T&Cs: yes you can. It might earn you a temporary block though if you repeatedly use the card for the same amount with the same retailer.

  • I may stagger this out over a few days and also buy some gift cards for some other retailers just to vary it.
