barclaycard goldfish card. help!

Hi there,

Last night I applied for a goldfish card. I didnt realy need it I just wanted the £30 of free vouchers!

I am earning 18000 per year, which is what i put on the application form (online).

It said I was accepted and would get the card in the next 5 days!

However I have just read on there website you need to be earning 20k per year???

Do you think they will still send me the card??

thanks!!

also what limits does this card normally give?

    If it's been accepted, then yes you're likely to get it. The income is normally a guide to who will be accepted, rather than a requirement.

    The limit can be anything from a few hundred to £10K+ - all depending on your credit scoring.

    i also get accepted with an income under 20k :) Had the card 2 months now and no problems. I got a ridiculously large limit and asked them to reduce it when I called to activate, the guy said I must have a very good credit rating so, as with anything, I would imagine your limit will depend on income and their credit score of you.
