I have not actually been turned down,i applied online but it was not an instant decision card.
I have good credit, as debt to income is around 20% no missed or late payments no defaults or anything like this.
About 4 years ago i was turned down by barclaycard and there decline letter reached me within 3days,so was just thinking is this a good sign that the decline letter has still not arrived,and maybe i have been approved?0 -
I'd just call them up to be honest, they'll prob make the comment oh it is early and we will review but they will also update you with decision.April 2020 - £102,222 Loans/CC’s.
