    There's no telling which way it'll go. Hopefully it'll be an acceptance. :D

    If you are going to apply for another card, then, sygma, in my opinion, would be your best option.

    I hope so to.:)

    I wanted to do an application to check to see if my amendments to my credit file have had any effect. But just realised that they also check equifax according to who uses who thread.

    You may still be o.k.

    It will be a nice surprise if in about a weeks time the card drops through your letterbox. Don't apply for any more until you hear, either way.

    Good luck with the application.

    Its the same as capital one Classic.

    Vanquis rates are higher than advertised as they use "Simple Rate" as oppose to Anual Rate.

    Yeah my classic is 34.9% i did honestly think aqua were around the 24.9% market,my sygma is 19.9% and my barclaycard is 17.9% but did have vanquis for 2 years which i do know is very high as mine on that was 49.4 i think and always kept up to date on payments..i take it aqua dont put the apr up to stupid amounts like vanquis..

    I was hoping to get AQUA and then close my Vanquis card down.

    I currently have vanquis, capital one and barclaycard.

    I think aqua have put their rate up though because i thought it used to be 29.9%.
