How long for bmo mastercard to arrive?
My husband is sick and hasn't been able to work for quite a while so we are a one income family. When i went on mat leave last year I cancelled my one and only credit card because I figured it was better to suffer on the paltry income that is EI than to suffer on EI while racking up credit card debt. I only took 6 months leave and have been back at work since May, so last monday I decided to apply for a BMO credit card since thats where I now bank. When I applied online, it told me that I was approved. I called the 800 number last thursday to check and he said that I had been automatically approved and a card was issued. He and the online message both said the card would arrive within 7-10 days. Now what I want to know is, does it really arrive within 7-10 days. Everything I've read has people saying it took 3-4 weeks for their card to arrive. I'm kind of in a hurry because I found out I have to go to an out of province meeting in two weeks and I have to book my trip. Reasonable or not, I'm kind of embarrased to say I can't book it cause I don't have a credit card. Is there anyone out there that has actually received their BMO card within the stated 7-10 days?
