Barclays arrival+

red259 — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:47:41 GMT

When I applied it offered me next day delivery service at an extreme markup, so I decided to pass because I did not need it the next day. For those of you who have this card, how long did it take you to receive it from approval? Does it come normal postal mail in the box or is it a envelope separate from the other mail? I'm trying to hold off on paying a bunch of bills, because I'd rather save the expenses for meeting minimum spend.

Standard postal mail, 7-10 days.

My Arrival took about 3 weeks. I actually called the day before I got it to report I didn't receive and they rushed me a new card, at a discount of course. They wouldn't waive the fee. Charged $15.99. Don't know why the delay but i'm sure its not the norm.

My PRG got here quick but my BCP took forever from amex. I don't have my Amex everyday yet and I assume they will take their sweet time with that card as well. Can't remember how long it took to get my SPG. Chase has always been some what quick from what I recall. Right now I am waiting on cards from barclays, amex, chase and citi so the race is on to see is the fastest draw.

I paid for the expedited delivery but didn't receive it, so called them up and they overnighted a new one. They reimbursed me for the rush fee because it turned out that they forgot to put rush order on original card, and that came in about 7 business days.

It comes in USPS mail, mine took about a week after approval ... congratulations! (assuming you got approved)
