    I'll add a bit to this thread.

    My younger sibling wanted to get the Samsung J700 16m deal on O2. Signed up and rejected by p4u/O2.

    I signed up for the same contract today, success.

    Me: mid 20s, 1 credit card, all bills paid, mobile contracts/credit cards since 18.
    Sibling: early 20s, no credit cards ever, no mobile contracts ever

    Both of us live at the same address, and I put the occupation as 'other' for both of us.


    I've passed all mobile contract credit checks first time, but when I apply for a good cashback credit card like Citi I don't get one! :(
