Anyway, apparently card production has been delayed (surprise) and they are re-issuing and couriering them out for those delayed (do I 100% believe that - errr not really but we’ll see). So the long and short they say is to hang on for another week.
Oddly the end of the card number produced in the ‘approval’ email is different to that in a subsequent ‘don’t forget to activate’. Maybe it has been reissued.
PS: If they change me the fee for the missing period they’ll have a ombudsman complaint for not treating their customer’s fairly. Can’t see for one minute that they would get away with it.
My cynicism was unfounded! Card just arrived in the post this morning which was 8 clear working days in the end. So 3 days delayed from the SLA which isn’t anything I’m too worried about.
