multiple credit card applications

saram613

Can anyone please tell me what the effects, if any, are on my credit rating is if i apply for 3 new credit cards, 1 to transfer my balance to on a 0% deal, a 2nd to get the quidco cashback with 1 purchase made on the card and the 3rd to get a voucher for 2 free flights to Europe with 1 purchase made on the card.

Many thanks

I would do them all at the same time.
It seems to take a while for them to show up, so if you do them all together they won't see each other.

But after that I would hang fire on applications for at least 3 months.
If you have anything important coming up like a mortgage then you need to reconsider.
If you don't need to apply for any other credit then it shouldn't be an issue.

Apply together and they probably won't seee the new searches or the new accounts.
