bear in mind about it. should i be earning a certain amount? i have just requested a TSB card and they have given me £3000 on this but i have just had a debt to transfer on it which is now done. i still have an Abbey card but the interest free period finished ages ago. if i transfer any debt on this they say there is a transfer fee of 2% . i thought this would be better than nothing. so maybe i should keep this for any emergency. however i am now wondering whether nationwide classic will give me a card if i already have 2 others (ok so one is maxed up and the other i dont use). any tips really appreciated . need to sort this out quite urgently . thanks in advance.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Best and quickest way if you can, is to go to a Nationwide Branch,( with ID.) , ask for a cash card to use abroad and during the inhouse credit check work your way to seeing if you can have a credit card too. Instant decision, if successful cards arrive in three or four days.
