Two MBNA cards at once

anotherpaul_2

I thought I'd post this, since I wasn't aware that it was going to be an issue.

I've just been declined a Virgin Money card, the reason given was that I already have another MBNA issued card (Abbey) with a balance on a promotional rate. I had realised this, but not expected it to be a reason to decline me.

Anyway, I thought the information might be useful to others. Off to find a suitable alternative. :-)

I know that several people on this forum indeed have several MBNA accounts

As do I, which is why I thought it was safe to apply. Hopefully I'll managed to persuade someone else to lend to me instead.

I believe you can have up to 5 MBNA backed cards... assuming you qualify.

A lot of customers with the MBNA Abbey card are pre approved for the Santander Cash Back or Zero card and often with the same credit limit if you fancy changing anotherpaul.
