Barclaycard Pre Application Check
Comments

They search Equifax and Call Credit for the Pre-App check.
They search Equifax for the actual application; and Experian if they don't pull sufficient data from Equifax to make a decision. Barclaycard searching Experian is a VERY rare thing indeed, they're pretty much exclusively EQ for full applications.Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

Thank you Izools.
Like i say, i got a 80-90% result for the Initial, and my equifax report is the worst of the two - eq/ex. I suppose my chances are fairly good i reckon.
What d'you think regarding the cap1 i've only held for only 4 months? That probably isn't going to go in my favour0 -
I would wait until you've had it at least six months or so tbh
