    I have just done the pre approval thing and got this message

    You are here:
    1. Eligibility


    If you want to change how you intend to use your card you can view alternatives by clicking on the tabs below.

    Terms and Conditions

    The cards shown above have been selected as the most suitable choice for you based on a high-level check of your credit record and the additional information you have provided. This does not constitute an offer of credit and you may be declined once a full assessment of your application has been completed. This scoring method only applies to Barclaycard, as other companies may use different scoring methods.



    What cards above none are showing- does this mean there are none available to me , as when I did the pre approval check a few months ago it said straight away no cards were available, I am really confused now, but that does not take much to confuse me, lol. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I get the exact same thing.

    If I go back and retry the same day it says "Sorry we can't offer you a card" and provides a link to a website claiming I have a high chance of approval for an Aqua card.

    If I try a couple of days later I again get the same thing you do above. Odd.

    EDIT: I just cleared all my cache / cookies / etc, used IE9 with the pre-app checker, and put in mother's details - it did come back with two cards available.

    Closed IE9, cleared cache / cookies / etc again, re-opened IE9 and used MY details and got the same as you did above - no results but not saying I can't have anything either.

    I think we aren't eligible for anything but the pre-app checker isn't working properly to display the results saying "Tough".

    I changed my wage amount after I got the message I posted and it also told me I had a good chance of Aqua and Vanquis- how odd this is.

    How do I clear cache etc, I may try my partners details (with his say so!!!) and see what happens.

    If you use internet explorer go to tools - internet options - and then click "delete" under browsing history :o

    I think this application checker is a load of twoddle. My Call Credit report looks nothing like my Equifax report.

    It is a twoddle just one of barclaycards in genius ways of them looking like they are their to help customers.

    Barclaycard used equifax for my pre-application check not 1 month ago.

    shows how shot to pieces my credit file is.
    my check was done with experian with which I have 3 defaults, one with natwest, one with santander and one with black horse for £96.
    total defaults about 700 :S
    obviously it rejected me, told me i have a good chance for aqua, so i applied and got rejected by aqua, i also got rejected by vanquis not long ago..... defaults suck :)
    my past history has been rubbish but have missed no payments on anything for over a year now.

    any credit seems to be beyond me now
