abbey guaranteed credit card

david.l_4

Hi a friend of mine just got a letter from abbey offering him a "guaranteed credit card" (strange as he is unemployed and has no income at the moment)
A quick question does anyone have one of these cards or know anything about them

can anyone go into a branch and get one? (or do you have to be unemployed first lol!!)

I think you have to be 'invited' - you can't just ask for one

Has he already got an account with Abbey?

Of course he might be guaranteed to get a credit card but it doesn't say what the APR or the limit would be.

yeah he does have an account with the abbey fair point on the apr and all that i was just wondering if this is avalible to all or a invite only situation.
