    I got rejected for this - seems like one of the best at the moment so a bit gutted.

    Can anyone provide a view on likely limits if you are accepted?

    My wife and I applied for this last night but we are both quite heavily stoozed so may get a low limit or perhaps even get rejected.

    Maybe it's because this one reverts to a low 12.9% APR (typical) at the end of the long introductory period?

    12.9% is not particularly low, even for GE. I have been mailed about a GE Money Stays Low Mastercard with typical 6.8% APR, but no introductory offers.

    Are offering a card with 0% on BTs for 12 months (2% fee) and 0% on purchases for 12 months. Here is the link

    That seems a pretty good deal to me
    GE have caused me Nightmares with their store card, they are financeers for Burton Menswear and lots of other top stores but...........try ringing them, you will find that they operate a 0870 number on all their telephones so it doesn`t matter if you have an enquiry, thats your choice to accept the charge, but and it is a big BUT, if you do deal with them and want advice or have a complaint you will pay, whilst they give you choice of services, play music, and talk to you, and you have NO CHOICE 0870 only. No fax. No E.mail,
    Just very expensive 0870 which they claim a payment for for every call made!!
    I complained to them they asked me to contact their complaints line 0870
    I complained again about this arrangement they E mailed back and I quote `NO COMMENT` Arrogant or what.

    I applied Thurs PM and have heard nothing except for the email saying ten minute response if you apply during working hours - do they have a big backlog?
    I think....

    My wife and I both applied Saturday morning. She heard via e-mail that she has been turned down but I've heard nothing?
