Barclays overnight fee ??

Anonymous · ‎08-13-2016

Will they charge that out of the Credit card you applied for or do you pay right there and then out of pocket? Also will they expedite to my current location? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

When I applied for the JetBlue card I selected overnight and was charged the fee to the credit card. The card was sent to the address on the application.

As as a data point you need to apply before 330 or 430pm can't remember exactly for it to come next day. Anything after that it will be processed the next day.

Also no delivery on Saturday or Sunday.

i applied on Thursday evening and didn't recieve my card until Monday morning.

Hopefully you don't need it urgently and can wait for regular (no extra fee) USPS delivery.

If you really need it ASAP, though, get it rushed. Otherwise it can easily take 2 weeks.

Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU

Why even give them the option to charge you a fee for an overnighted card?

Did you lose your card, or are you a new applicant?

Many companies overnight cards for free including Discover, Chase, and Citi. Barclays is horrible. Right now I can't even log into the site to view my information.

They charge the new card account. Unless you really really need the card quickly I would never be paying $15 for that. I think it's ridiculous they charge that much to expedite one card.

I hope everything works out for you.

Yes, I agree. I have very few principles in the cc world, but not paying for junk charges like this is one of them. While a lot of people get very excited about receiving the card ASAP, the cases where you actually need the card now are very rare (and often getting the card on time doesn't work in these cases because of other factors)

I applied on Thursday evening and got the card in the mail on Wednesday. That's quick. I can't see a situation where it would be worth paying the fee.

When there's card issuers out there that automatically overnight new cards, there's no reason to do business with a company that charges you to do so when you request it.

A week is about average for a non-rushed card to come in the mail. I wouldn't exactly call it "quick."
