GE '3%' Cashback Card

Well I got the number for the appeals department - 0870 124 2475
It is just a recorded message telling me that if I want to appeal I have to follow the advice of the leaflet "in store". No correspondence will be entered into if you do not submit a copy of your credit report.
Phoned the complaints number (0870 126 2665) and her first piece of advice was to ring Experian and ask them why I was declined.I told her that my Equifax and Experian reports just have my electoral roll data and my credit card data. I was put on hold and when she came back she said the department was " a bit behind" and I had "done the best thing" and "just to wait."

Card also arrived today :T
@buses7675 - The credit limit is mentioned on the same tearoff section that the card was glued to.Account No: xxxxxxxx
Credit Limit: xxxxxx
Date: xxxxx
No of Card Enclosed: xxxxxxx
Gave me a £2.5K credit limit, which isn't a real problem as I'll clear the balancd each month.

Decadent Fool - yes, I rang them a little after 8pm on the off chance and got through pretty much straightaway. I activated the card, set up a DD for full amount (it was offered as a choice) and ordered a second card. All very straightforward!0

Hehe, well I got offered a second cardholder but no dd! Was told I'd need to speak to customer services.
Anyway, glad you got the second cardholderDoing my best as a contrarian investor...property, banking...let's see how it goes0 -

I have a feeling that GE might operate some store cards and so perhaps the "in store" refers to this.No correspondence will be entered into if you do not submit a copy of your credit report.
I shredded my letter.
Can someone with the letter confirm the appeals procedure as I didn't send my credit report.0 -
This is a very difficult card to obtain. I have a faultless credit record and still no acceptance. I asked at GE Money for any clues as to why I was rejected and they just refered me to Experian. I already have a recent copy of my credit record so I am 99.9% certain it has little to do with the rejection. I would suggest that GE Money are actually looking for people who may not have a perfect credit record as this would mean they could claw back some of the money they pay as 3% rebate back in potential late payment fees and balance interest charges.0
