How long to process Flex Account application?

Just applied for a Flex Account. Going on holiday soon and I would like to know how long after you receive your card do you receive the PIN. I think I'm cutting it fine for the trip, may get the card but not the PIN. Wanting to use the card for drawing cash while away but obviously if it doesn't arrive in time going to have to get cheques before I go. Anyone know how long it takes etc. Only got 7 working days and then away. Just processing the card now but not in mail yet, help anyone. Thanks.

    I opened my account about 3 weeks ago & my pin arrived about 5 days after my card did. Hope yours comes before your holiday anyway.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Why don't you give Nationwide a call and tell them of the situation? They may be able to speed up the application. Also see if you can get the card and PIN delivered to your local Nationwide branch (if you have one near you), this may also speed things up a bit.

    I called the Nationwide the other day and they said that the card was in the middle of being processed so should get it next week but not sure about the PIN though, FINGERS CROSSED EVERYONE, or I'll have to go and get cheques etc, :(

    If it does not arrive, will there be anyone left at home whom you could phone whilst you are on holiday and they could open the letter and tell you the PIN no
