    I don't think abbey are offering the Zero card online anymore, I think you have to go into the branch.

    Yep you cannot get Abbey Zero online anymore. There are reports of success by applying in a branch though.
  • If you have a decent credit score, best bet is a MBNA Virgin Atlantic card. max £50 fee, high limits (e.g. I got £21K)

  • I had read up on comments here about the service, but I'm not after a BT offer, so thought I wouldn't have much to lose. I saw here that the Zero was still on offer through branches, but I thought I'd call them, and they didn't say anything about it being unavailable. They even quoted the card features correctly (including the 0% overseas loading which is what I wanted - and, yes, I already have the Nationwide card) and said I was accepted. I'm now awaiting paperwork. So any ideas whether it will actually be for the Zero card, how long I'll have to wait, and if I'll get it?! I called today (applied on Monday) and they were at least able to find my application (as 'awaiting signed agreement').
