    Alliance and Leicester give good limits and are hungry for new customers they also have other benfits and online banking.
    It is also a MULE card so you can transfer money to your bank account and then on to a saving account without incurring cash advance fees.You can do this over the phone there is a BT fee unless you are good at haggeling.
    This would be a better first card.
    You can always apply for the M&S card another time.
    M&S card is not presently a online card and you cannot view your transaction like you can with alot of other accounts.
    Thanks for the tip, Bokken.
    We are A&L customers ( premier direct, regular and online saver) so would we be more likely to get decent credit limits?

    sloughflint,
    The A&L card is run by MBNA so I doubt that having other products with them will make a difference.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
