A+L Credit card.

in Credit cards
Does anyone know if its easier to get a credit card from Alliance and Leicester or are they dealt with externally by MBNA? Does being a customer make it any easier? I could do with a 0% deal to help out my existing debts but I don't want to risk hitting my credit score only for it to be rejected.

Or is it probably just best to go into the branch and ask about these things? ;)

    I think if you are already a customer with them its better to go in and deal with them in person.

    Thanks. I might give it a go and see what they say. Just make it clear to them I don't want any searches done on my credit file to begin with.
