I think I shredded the decline letter so I won't know the application ref. I'm not fussed either way, I have 5 credit cards and I think everyone can agree that is more than enough.
More cards means more temptation and more deeper I'll get.
EDIT: Also, I think I've ran out of lines in my signature to add more cards.

Paddy caught his wife cheating so he decided to kill her (along with himself) in a suicide pact.
He holds the gun to his head & looks over at his wife and says 'you can stop laughing, you're next' :rotfl: :rotfl: 2010 - year of the troll

Haven't applied for anything in 1 month (which is impressive for me). I've gone from 29 searches in the last 3 months to 23. That will go down to 17 in just under 2 weeks, and down to 10 in another 3 weeks 2 days.
I'm actually quite determined to get that down to 0, and then get that overall 12 months number down.0 -
I've tried requesting a credit limit increase on my BOS card every couple of days for the past 2 weeks and they still wont give me one!
I'm just going to spend all of tomorrow just hitting that request button to annoy them. :mad:We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
