Amex points --> Miles & More
I am wondering whether there is a way to get Miles & More (Lufthansa) miles via a UK credit card nowadays. I saw that one can transfer Amex points into Singapore airlines miles, but I am not sure they can be converted to Miles & More afterwards. All UK credit cards seems to be stuck with Avios. But maybe there is still a…

Does this mean Ive been accepted and will get a credit card?
Sorry to sound dumb, but does this mean I have been approved? I signed up via the link on here when I put my details in to check eligibility and was approved with only Virgin, which I'm surprised about, as I have a poor credit score.
