    4 (soon 5):

    Barclaycard Platinum Balance £955 Limit £1250 - 6.9% till May 2010.
    Barclaycard Orange Balance £872 Limit £1050 - 0% till January 2011
    HSBC Mastercard Balance £993 Limit £1500 - 0% till January 2011
    Capital One Mastercard Balance £700 Limit £6700 - 18.32% - will be cleared and account closed before June.

    Just got a Vanquis Visa card for day to day spending (just like Martin said, don't spend on BT cards ;) ), balance will be cleared each month by DD.

    Aiming to clear all credit card debt by January 2011 :j

    4, tesco card at 0% with stuff on, barclaycard with nothing on but low rate for BT available when I need it, nationwide with nothing on it - needs cancelling and MS card with nothing on also needs cancelling

    Hang on 5, one account card that has never been activated it came with the account but seems utterly pointless.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    ..... and to get clubcard points.

    I buy all groceries on my Tesco card and pay it in full every month. Every point counts towards restaurants or Airmiles deals!!:D

    And both are MBNA cards, which is generally not allowed but I managed to get two cards from the same provider, so I'm not cancelling them. Oh and I'm 100% debt free.

    Some people on this site have as many as 5 MBNA issued cards I believe... I personally have also 2.

    Yup perfectly normal, they have the special feature that you can move the limit around between them to maximise the amount you get on new 0% offers ;)

    When I applied for a play.com CC run by MBNA, I was refused as I already had two MBNA accounts. I'd like to know how people get 5 CC from the same provider.
