If I were to apply for a store card, say a circuit city card, and was approved, could I charge something that day on my account or would I have to wait til they sent my card in the maiL?

They will usually let you charge something that day. You don't have to wait to get the card in the mail.

If you were at the store making a purchase and they asked you if you would like to apply for a store card and you got approved then yes, you are charging something that day without having to wait.

If you apply for the card online then you would not be able to charge the card on the spot, because most companies state that what you do online is seperate from the actual store.
If you apply for the card at the store itself then you might or might not be able to charge on the spot depending on their rules and regulations.
I know for example if you open up a Target account you get a discount on the spot but you are unable to charge right away, you have to wait for the card to be mailed to you.

Most in store cards, once approved, will allow you to charge right away that one time. For future charges, you will have to wait for the card.

It varies based on the store, but usually they issue a temporary card that can be used that day.

They usually give a temporary card in the store in the form of a receipt so you can use it in store.
