Creation Flybe Credit Card

Evening all, anyone had experience with Creation and even better with the Creation Flybe Credit Card just been accepted, also would you say this was a prime lender rather than a sub prime so can the Crap One be ditched? :D
Can I find out my credit score?
You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    They are ok...customer service is not one of the best...banking site is ok I suppose, just basic. I would say that prime lenders but with a reputation to be more lenient than others in terms of acceptance. If you manage you account well, you'll receive regular offers for balance transfer or cash transfer. Once you are accepted for one of their card, you'll get accepted more easily for other cards from Creation.

    the reward is naff, also points drop off after 2 years and trying to book flights doesnt happen
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I tried to book a flight and when I finally found availability (to some random place I didn't want to go to anyway), the "free" flight (you pay taxes etc.) was more expensive than just buying the ticket normally! Completely ridiculous.
