Barclaycard Pre Application Check

ferry

So,is it subject to a full credit check or does it leave any sort of footprint on your credit report?

dukey

Cant offer me one.. Ah well..

Just a footprint so will not damage your credit report, they will do full search with Equifax if you decide to apply

never-in-doubt

Exactly, a footprint for 'initial check' and full search for application.

I have done both - lol, so god only knows what they will say (well I already know its a no)....

Anyone able to confirm how soon after applying I can ring to enquire?

When I applied for my Barclaycard, I applied in the morning and because of problems with their internet site when I applied I called in the afternoon that same day to see if they received it and he was able to confirm it and give me my Credit Limit & APR

I tried this pre application check last night.

Have checked my call credit file this morning and have two searches from Barclays. Checked Equifax and no search.
