    Mate they are extremely hard to get and come with hugh limits (Andy got one recently with nice limit lol) and they check Equifax and compare all existing debt - it is barclays after all who are in the middle of a credit limit cull...

    I;d save the search and wait til you can at least get a 1st direct account before applying lol - or have a great credit file. Sure Andy will confirm later...

    hard criteria to pass....... personally, if aqua said no then i'd wait a little while.

    Debt - stop promoting cash plus - it is junk mate.
