Can a Virgin card holder obtain an MBNA card?

in Credit cards
Hello,

I have read conflicting advice about this one and do not want to apply for an MBNA card just to be turned down. I know they are issued by the same group, but do not know if I will be accepted for the MBNA card if I already have a Virgin card.

Anyone know for sure??

Regards, Karen.

    i have a BT (british telecom) card issued by MBNA and a virgin card. both got within a few months of each other, fairly recently. so i think they let you have 2. i suppose its the total amount of credit available that you have from them from both cards that they take into account. :money:
