Gaining more credit

If I had my first credit card could I apply for lots more?
Whats the limit you of the amount you can apply for?
Is it better to wait a long time between between cards? How long?
What else can I do to keep up my rating?

Cheers

If I had my first credit card, could I apply for lots more?

No, not immediately. It takes time to build a good credit rating.

What's the limit of the amount you can apply for?

That depends on your income.

Is it better to wait a long time between between cards? How long?

'Depends on your circumstances, but certainly not less than 6 months.
Once you've operated a starter card and at least one other credit card for a bit, you'll find it easier to get the cards and credit limits you want.

What else can I do to keep up my rating?

For tips to improve your chances of credit card acceptance, have a look at the *Credit Rating: how it works and how to improve it guide* especially Martin's *Manage and Improve your credit score* article

Best to learn to save up for things your want.

If, as your previous posts say, you are an undischarged bankrupt with a BRO then it would seem likely that your chosen path will end with a CIFAS mark for fraud .. which won't help you getting a mortgage now or in the future.

will someone turn the alarm off, it's wrecking my ears.

even if you meant to say "should I start with one card and possibly move on to more credit in due course", the prospect is still alarming...
