    Sorry, but with a 24.9% APR is certainly IS NOT a prime card.
    I grant you, its not in the realms or Crapital One or that bloody Vanquis thing. However, as i said before, if you are a good risk, you PAR should be sub 20%. If you are a bad risk, the card won't accept you in the first place.
    If you have a Sygma, then you are deemed as a bit of a risk and hence the high APR.
    Hi Woody, Sygma are 'rate for risk' cards and big prime lenders for example MBNA charge +30% APR.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    OMG have been approved with 5k limit for Flybe

    Sorry if you've been asked IG, but what is your credit file like? any defaults?
  • A word of caution: I had an Adams storecard run by Sygma a couple of years ago and their Customer Services were completely incompetent when faced with an unusual request. It actually took me nearly six months to sort out and cost me a lot of stoozing income.

    They've given me a 2000 credit limit and my cards been sent out, ive got £2600 i want to balance transfer though, do you think its worth calling and having a chat to see if they will come to some sort of arrangement where they will take it all?
