Just wondering if its possible to have 2 credit cards from the same place i.e 2 barclay cards. Sorry if this seems to be a really dumb question.

    No dumb questions anywhere on this site!
    I say "If THEY are stupid enough to give you two Barclaycards and you want them, then go you ahead girl"
    Is this coz they've got a special offer on at the moment? the 0% for 10 months deal?
    I think if you want this 0% deal and you already have a Barclaycard then they will see you as an exisiting customer and bin your application. IMHO Banks never give anything to loyal customers they only give out to new ones - that's why people rate tart.

    You can have 2 or more credit cards with one provider, if they offer that. From memory, Barclaycard do this as do Halifax, Amex and MBNA

    I have just reduced my credit limit so to apply for another card with same company would I be better asking them to increase it back up to what it was and then applying or leave it as it is and still apply? Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated.
