    Might wait until I get my accessory card agreement to sign. Don't want to mess up my being accepted. Also can't remember the date I last applied for Flybe - are you ok to try again six months after a decline?.

    If you have access to your Equifax file I would double check first when you last applied. I would leave it 6 months also. :cool:

    I know people who ave applied for 2 Sygma product at the same time. a JJB credit card and a Flybe card, the decision is yours though. :D

    thanks for the info, will check my equifax file and see if I can decipher the search info!
    Had thought of trying the BMIbaby which I think is run by citibank, but can't remember which credit file they check. Don't want to mess up lol. I have quite a few searches on experian due to changing banks and getting my recent car loan (6 searches for last six months)
    thanks again!

    Didn't get the MBNA mastercard, got a decline :confused: just want a lower rate on my current cards.

    Does anyone know what sort of limits the JD Williams accessory card gives? I would like to balance transfer 1K and have been accepted for the card. Wish they told you your credit limit when your application has been accepted!!


    well done :beer::beer:

    Good evening Troops, Long time no speak.

    I have been online but not had as much time as before but am back for a wee look so whats been happening.

    The only news i have is i paid off £1200 on a welcome finance loan onto a credit card with alot less interest rate, so that loan will be paid off in 2 months and also dont know if you remember i cut up all my cards start of the year and i requested new ones etc and one good thing came out of it cap 1 have increased my limit from £500 to £1250 so am happy enough with that anyway.

    Just checked and Flybe didn't leave any search record last time I applied by the look of it :D. I will hold back any more applications though until my accessory application is processed.

    I've got a police check tomorrow for my new job (teaching assistant). I hope all my bank accounts don't flag up any suspected fraud... lol

    Was this increase after the four months or just a random increase?
