    Who is your other account with?
    Have you ordered anything yet? Had first order discount?
    If so tell them that you are looking at other offers such as 30% off as opposed to set amounts like £15.
    Alternatively just lie and tell them that you thought product range would be different :D

    Lol, that is one option :rolleyes:

    If it is Littlewoods Direct as opposed to just Littlewwods then you have every reason to want an Empire Stores account.
    LD charge for delivery and on MOST purchases it is 3 mnths interest free.
    Empire are slightly dearer on purchase price but free deliver and 52 weeks int free on everything :j

    is it worth phoning and applying for these kind of accounts or doing it online?
    also just wondering if anyone knows, a couple of store cards that i want are owned by GE money but i applied for a credit card with debenhams not so long ago and got declined (it said the card was issued byGE) does that mean the others will decline me aswell as store cards are a little different fromactual credit cards?
