aqua card, how long for a decision

Hi, i have a dire credit rating....anyway i have 4 credit cards, 2 x lloyds tsb amex duo (one in my husbands name) , cap1 progress (in my husbands name) and halifax.

im going away and want to hire a car and i need money on a cc available to pay deposit. but on those 4 cards there is only £1485.... (my balances are zero)

so my husband applied for an aqua card(i just on the offchance. )anyway they said 7-10days blah blah...has anyone applied and they said that then got the card? how much credit limit, and how long did it take to come?

thanks

    Yeah, you shouldnt need that much to hire a car....But then, you may well be going for a longer period car hire or a luxury limo.....
