    Yay Aqua have sent me a CCA and say they'll offer me 35.9% (ouch!) Doesn't say what the limit is though. Are they likely to change their mind? I got a studio book too, so I assume I'm accepted for that....

    Edit: Yea I turned the order form over, I've got £100 to spend now. At those prices it would probably only get me a hat!!!

    Bank of Scotland doesn't include Natpest does it? Natpest is Royal? So I shouldn't get AVU on this? :D:)

    Haha, can I have online access though? through their website? Like HSD? If I can I more likely to pick something if I see a bargain (few and far between.....). 35.9% is the best aqua offer!?!??!! WOW!! :D Oh and I'm kinda drunk.... i left laptop on before I wnt out, on MSE, so thought I'd reply :p

    i phoned barclaycard yesterday and asked them about the internal scoring after 6 month period,about getting another card without credit scoring.
    He said they do an internal check but said they also have to do a credit check as well..
    Which think about it they aint just going to give you another card just because you have payed them on time for 6 months..if anyone gets bored today phone barclaycard up and they will confirm this to you..

    If they decide to offer someone a credit card after six months without a credit search it's because they are fed a monthly data feed from the CRA and they also know what color socks you are wearing.

    Some people have on this forum have applied for a 2nd card with Barclaycard and have been approved without a credit search

    One person who springs to mind is Stephane.

    Do you really think front line C/S know the process inside out:rotfl:
