Which Card should I go for?

I have been refused a Morgan Stanley card, as I have a poor credit history even though I am debt free .

I have a Barclaycard but want to get a cashback card, can someone tell me when which card I can apply for that will start to build a credit history?

    I think that you could apply for Conran Card

    The Barclaycard will help to build your history as long as you keep paying on time and are not near your credit limit.

    As for other cashback cards - I have a lot of credit history and have been refused for Egg Money. I would maybe suggest the Conrad/Conran card from MBNA for you. Not sure how tough their criteria is though. I would wait two months and then apply again.
