SBTs for Low Earners

Recently got a copy of my credit report for free. Although I have little income, my status is quite good except that I have had no seaches on my file for more than a year and I spend little using my credit card - using my debit card most of the time.

Can anyone suggest any other ways that I may improve my credit status so that I can become a 'rate tart' and make use of SBTs available on certain credit cards to supplement my income a little.

Which of the card providers (offering SBTs) is most likely to offer me a creiit card once I have improved my credit status?

    Very interesting about SBTs, did not know this was possible! Unfortunately, I do not work and the only credit card provider willing to take me on is HALIFAX as I already bank with them so they know I am a good credit risk. That is why I have never really llooked at the credit card board on this site.

    Well done on making it to the credit card board!!

    A BIG WELCOME ;D
