Halifax 2% cash back credit card

LongTermLurker

Nope, as Tali says above, it's now been withdrawn (must be very recent). The two links I've posted above are both out of service.

That's 2 accounts I've managed to grab just before being removed

At the end of your application, I expect you will have either had a message saying "you have been successful" or alternatively "we need more information and will be in touch shortly" - or possibly "sorry you have been unsuccessful this time".

If they said they will contact you, that may take a few days. As you'd applied while it was live, you may be lucky or they may decide not to approve it - all you can do is wait a few days and if you haven't heard anything, call them to enquire how your application is progressing. Good luck.

Thanks. Actually i am with Halifax Credit Card for 4 years and pay full in each statement (except there were 0% purchases for 6 months). Does that mean my acceptance will be very high? well unless they decide to retract the product at the end!

That doesn't necessarily follow unfortunately - all your circumstances will be take into account: income, existing debts, existing credit limits, time with employer, time in current house, etc etc. You'll just have to wait I'm afraid.

ok thanks! Not in hurry because I still get 0.5% in 'One' Card but they only give the moneyback every anniversary and doesn't have 2% cashback for grocery and fuel.

Exactly the same with me.
I applied for this card too, but no email, no callback, just a letter 7 days later basically spelling out to me that my current card is suitable, so you cannot get this card.
Since it was the 'ONE' card, I would suspect you will get the same letter back.
However, I phoned them back (the no on the letter) and they confirmed that this was the cause, so I cancelled the 'one' card and re-phoned back to get this new card.
Waiting on the new card to arrive any day now (PIN already here).

Just received an acceptance letter, asked me to sign the letter and post it back in order to get the card dispatched. Looks like everything goes pretty well than expected. Luckily I didn't get the letter as yours. :T

I did manage to get both Halifax cashback cards - but was told over the phone they were strictly online applications
They kept these cards v quiet it appears- and dropped them quietly it seems

My card turned up today and even tough it says 'standard' card on Halifax online banking the paperwork that came with it and the person who activated it (after spending the best part of a day trying to flog me insurance I didnt need) confirmed that it is the cashback one so happy days.
