    If that is it I am disappointed. I don't want a Gold Card that actually says "Gold Card". It just shouts pretentiousness

    I found this one but i thought they did away with the Gold card? You can't apply for it anymore & i remember when i got the blue card you could apply for gold as well. It seems they use it as an upgrade now for existing customers.

    Look like it has been dipped in a pot of yellow paint and left out in the rain! Yuk.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    I hate Vanquis because of them not having internet servicing and having to find (the phone number's not on the back of the card) and phone that ripoff 0870 number. I much much prefer the Aqua card.

    Aqua's do offer better features however Aqua is harder to get accepted for...........

    Hello All,

    I recently got accepted for a Vanquis Card and was wondering if people could inform me of there start limits and their increases. Also if you pay in full? I know I have bugged most of the Vanquis holders on here, and thank them for there advice.

    Also when was the last time you recieved a statment? Haven't recieved one yet.....

    I got my Vanquis card this month. Current limit is £250. Let you guys know if/when i get an increase. :beer:
