    All Vanquis applications are referred.

    You'll know whether or not you've been accepted when they call you / write to you with their decision. But if you've passed Aqua's credit scoring your pretty much a shoe in for Vanquis.
    Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

    Mine took about 5 days and then about 3 days after that you get the pin number.
  • I've had a letter this week saying my limit has been increased by another £750 which takes me up to a £1750 limit. Also had a letter from Halifax saying they are increasing my limit too.

    My credit rating must be improving! :cool:

    I applied for Vanquis credit card online this week and was accepted. This was after inital we'll get back to you. After a phone call offering me payment protection / cash advance into bank account etc. I appreciate Vanquis giving me a second chance. I have learned by past mistakes/ misfortune and will always pay off in full to a slow recovery in building my very poor credit rating.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.
  • had my card now for a year and stuck on the £250 limit.

    Pay min by direct debit and most months pay extra to bring balance down to £50 mark.

    Normally use the card for petrol and internet shopping....

    However my CCJ should fall off my credit report in march so a increase may be forthcoming
