I think it took around a week after application for the PIN to arrive, with the card following three days after that - arriving after the big Christmas shop

but at least she got a card at all.
She then requested that I be put on her card, but they just sent an application form, which was duly sent off, so give it another 10-14 days, then there's Christmas itself ... so I can see it being over a month from application before I have a card of my own. Thankfully I have her details securely noted for on-line purchases.

I've been thinking about that. I reckon you'll get twice the normal Avios per £ spent,
plus the 10 bonus points. Not 25, then, but maybe 15.
