Sorry, don't compute the last post (advised to my email)- Was it by one 'savemoney' or one 'gladiatorexecutive 61'. It's gobbledegook anyway and doesn't help one iota.

Just signed up for the Amazon one, purely for the £15.

I suspect I may not get it, since I have applied for both a Play and a Virgin card in the past few months and they are all MBNA (I think).

Has anyone got cards for Amazon, Play and Virgin? Like gjs1701 i'm tempted by the sign up offers but not sure I'd be eligible for all 3 offers as the cards are all MBNA.

I had a Play card with £3000 limit. When the Virgin card with no-fee transfer came up, I signed up for that and promptly got a phone call from MBNA - they agreed to give me the card, but split the credit limit between the two cards.

So I am expecting a phone call.

cheers for that. mayb i'll just get the one card then.

I'm thinking of getting a cashback credit card and would intend to use that to pay for as much as possible in order to gain the points/cashback.

I know that it is possible to pay for many of my household bills by credit card and also my rent and council tax. However, what I really need to know is if these payments on the credit card would be classed as 'spending' and therefore count towards my cashback; or if cashback can only be gained on retail spending?

Has anybody actually had cashback for bill payments?

I applied for the Amazon credit card on 10/15/2009 but haven't had any e-mail correspondence whatsoever. Has anyone else?
