Abbey zero application

hello,


has anyone applied for the zero credit card?

Just wondered if you to were only given a reference number and not a yes/no to you application.

If so how long did the letter take to come to confirm whether you had been accepted?

Thanks

    I applied online on May 5 and received a letter on May 21 to say that I had been provisionally accepted and to sign and return the paperwork. If the card arrives within the next week or 2 I will be amazed.

    Abbey seem to be having real problems keeping up with demand for the card.

    I applied on 1st May and then heard nothing so made weekly calls to Abbey to chase the paperwork. Don't be fobbed off with excuses - I finally got success when one of the supervisors took personal charge of the situation and re-ordered the paperwork for me. It arrived overnight by First Class mail and I'll be returning the signed copy by Recorded mail.

    Yes I had the same message.....thought it was me (I thought I had hit next twice or something!) until I read this post..... thank you :T

    Only applied on Friday though, so haven't had anything yet.

    Mine took about 3 weeks in total. Card just arrived on Saturday. Unfortunately a bit late for my trip to France as I returned on Friday. Was buying some new furniture for our house there and could have done with saving the charges on the CC but at least I have it now for future use.
