    The GE everday card (3% cashback) is very hard to get.
    Don't know about other GE cards or whether it's jsut this one, but yes, there is a difference.

    If you are having difficulty then try you own bank.
    They have history on you so are more likely to oblige (assuming you've managed your account OK).

    What cards do you already have? It may be that the ones you have are owned or run by one of the companies who are running the new ones you are applying for

    The most popular credit card is Barclaycard. Doesn't necessarily make it the best. Ive found MBNA and Egg easier to get if you've got a low credit score (for having no credit history), especially mbna because if you're borderline, you can send them your bank statements.
