in Credit cards
Hi
I applied for a platinum card because I'm starting a job paying over the requirement. However the lady on the phone said I've been offered the blue one, which I assume is the initial. She said however I would get the bonuses e.g. 0 % like the platinum.
Has anyone else got that? Basically does that mean I just got a lower credit limit? It seems if you apply online directly for the initial, you don;'t get any bonuses.

I didnt know there was more than one. The only blue one with bonuses seems to be the charity one.0
