in Credit cards
Hi Folks...
Thought i start a new thread on near prime credit cards as i have undertaken some research and found several cards that are apparently near prime. They are:
1) Thomas Cook Mastercard
2) GM Platinum Card
3) Post Office Mastercard
It is clear on the forums judging by experience that some Sygma cards are also considered to be near prime despite the fact on record they are prime cards.
If any of you did get the three cards above with adverse data, please share with us on this thread.

Mate what is lovemoney? I have two of the cards you mention lol - trust me they are 100% prime! :rotfl: :rotfl:
My HSBC is actually 9.9% and my BoI is 6.9% on purchases. Both still have 0% on BT's until the summer.
Point is, that is the whole purpose of a prime card, higher limits and lower APR's...

Post Office is almost certainly prime - I've been accepted for Barclaycard Platinum, M&S, Virgin and others, but been declined for Post Office every time!
You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -
just read that noah thats strange,i only thought there were sub-prime and prime,not near prime0
