    I just tried it and it gave a 50-60 for a Gold Card and 70-80 for an initial, any idea which credit reference agency they used. I know it is normally Equifax, but Experian and Callcredit hold far more information on me.

    didn't tell me those but I am not bothered.

    If you spend £100 each month for the first 3 months with the goldfish you get £30 extra reward points :D

    Nice one - so you won't use it as your main card then? Just a back-up...?

    I wouldn't use it if I got one, don't like barclays but thought i'd test the water and see :eek:
