Is it safe to apply for another card?

I applied for a Morgan Stanley Platinum last sunday. This will be used for cashback purposes. No 'real' debt will be put on it. I've yet to learn whether i have been successful in getting it. Now....i also want to apply for a 0% purchase card......for getting the xmas presents. Would it be wise to apply for one so quickly after the Morgan Stanley?

  • If youve not applied for any other credit deals in the last 6 months or so then any impact it will have should be negligible.

    Cheers.

    Applied for a Capital One Platinum about 8 months ago and got it and applied for nothing since. 6 months prior to the Capital One card, i applied for 3 cards in the space of about 2 weeks (MBNA Platinum, HSBC Gold and Amex) and got them all so i guess i have a reasonable credit record.
