    I applied for Vanquis online on the 16th Feb, received a phone call 8 days later telling me I had been successful and trying to get me to take a cash advance as I would have to wait up to 14 days until I get the credit card. Naturally I declined, wasn't falling for that. Then they tried to sell me a repayment option plan which I also wasn't interested in. In the end just to shut her up I accepted a reduced 1p a month 3 months free trial deal which I plan to cancel.

    I got the credit card through the normal post last week, no special delivery. Ironically I only applied through Quidco to get the £25.00 cashback which validated. £25.00 for a card I don't intend to use, not too shabby for Ammie.
    Goodluck.

    I used this link to see what cash back company offers the best deals
    http://www.cashbackguide.org/ It always tends to be Quidco, Topcash or Greasy.

    Hi

    Well done on your acceptance!

    Started at £250 June 2008, increased to £500 September 2008 and increased to £1250 January 2009.

    I pay my balance in full every month and I would advice you do the same otherwise the interest charged will be very high.
