I applied for the HSBC Premier WE last Sunday and was expecting to hear back within 48h as advised. Had to call on Friday and was told that I have been approved, but the underwriting department has a big backlog of cases so the T&Cs will take some time before they are sent to me.

When dust settles, put a complaint in. You will get a good slug of £££ to offset against the fee. HSBC service is atrocious. But they are very good (and generous) at service recovery payments.
