Co-op Cashminder & Barclays Cash Card Account!

I have a cashminder account which i have to say i think is excellent but i am also thinking of applying for the Barclays Cash Card Account as me and my fiancee can then use that account as an account for our home bills so we dont get them mixed up with our own money.

Has anyone else managed to get both accounts OK or am i likely to be turned down?

    I am thinking of opening Barclays too since they brought out the debit card with the account.

    Barclays was one of my biggest creditors. The staff in my branch don't know I'm BR and still call me by my name when I go in to pay something in to my husband's account. I think I'll go in to a different branch to open the account! Don't want to ruin my reputation!

    You can open multiple Cashminder accounts if you need to.

    Norby have you checked your credit files, there may be a fraud notice on there and that is why they haven't opened an account. Better to be safe than sorry and check.

  • I also wanted an other account, the 1 already for bills & a new 1 for everything else. With co op at min & was told i couldn't have an other basic account & probably wouldn't get 1 anywhere else.
    It is a joint account & thought perhaps i might be able to open another 1 just in my name?
