I closed my virgin money MBNA card last month when the 0% ran out, do I need to wait 6mths to apply with anyone who is backed by MBNA?

Thanks

  • I'd like to know the answer to this too although I'm pretty sure my OH had a Liverpool FC MBNA and a Virgin Money MBNA card at the same time at some point.

    If the account was managed well, apply for another card now.

    Just don't apply for exactly the same card as you recently closed.
  • I had an Mbna closed it waited 6 weeks(approx) then applied for Virgin then once 0% gone did the same and reverted back to Mbna card so yes is the answer just unsure how long you should wait to apply but maybe someone else can advise that!!!

    I have a Virgin card and an MBNA card, so you can definetely have 2 at the same time :)

    I've just closed my MBNA account. When doing so I asked, should I want to, how long do I have to wait before I can apply for another account.
    He told that there was no minimum period before you could apply for a new account.
