    Damn; wish I'd gone with Tescos now- I wasn't sure if applying for more than one would look bad on my record. In a bit of a pickle now; can't recommend the M&S one because there's no way of telling what you'll get at the end of a long wait. What sort of limits do Tesco give?

    Got £5.2k at Tesco straight away vs. £4k and a months waiting at M&S. Tescos didn't seem to mind we'd applied to M&S recently.

  • How long did it take you guys for the paperwork to come through? I applied online over a week ago and nothing's come yet.

    I got the accepted email the same day, but then a slow process it seems it took my paperwork 7 days to arrive (5 working days).

    No card yet for me, sent my forms back last Tuesday. Been just over two weeks since applying.

    I have had the same reply as Antuk, just wish I knew one way or another. Any ideas if this message indicates good or bad news?
  • Could someone advise when would you know what the credit limit is?
    Is it indicated in the agreement or should one wait till the card arrives?

    The limit will come with your card,

    I have just had my card arrive and its got a huge limit for me I was gobsmacked, I am only using it for the 0% though so will never get to my limit.

    It took about a month from me applying to the card being activated in all

    oops; i didn't see that...

    For those wondering about the email with content
    'Thank you for applying for the new M&S Credit Card, the only card to be seen
    with and the only credit card you'll ever need.

    I applied on Saturday and got this email on Sunday and again on today. Seeing that they sent me the same email twice, decided to ring up and was told that my application was accepted. Hence this email is what it say it is, a decision is being made but does not suggest either an acceptance or refusal. Hope this help.
