    The soft search on nationwide must change Everytime you use it as mine last time was just over 4k 15.9% done it again and it's 5.2k at 15.9% which actually works out about right as I still have around 5k available on my BC with my salary at 25k.
    I think this soft search is more correct then others.

    I was quoted £3500 at 15.9% and that's what I got. IIRC it is a bit unnerving because when I pressed 'apply' it just came back and said that I would receive further documentation in the post - which I did, and very quickly.

    But it didn't say 'congratulations' or really confirm anything. It did leave me in a bit of doubt.

    This was at the back end of last year. Despite having used the card for two 0% BTs and nothing else (and never will!) they've just upped my credit limit to £4300.

    Surprising given that I've never used the card for purchases and an elementary scan of my credit data will show that I'm paying back debt and using whatever 0% promotional offers come available.

    My card arrived this morning, as per soft search quotation - 9.9% and £5,200 limit..

    Out of interest, how long did things take from acceptance for the card to arrive?

    Did you get any paperwork in advance of the card to sign etc?

    I got no paperwork - the card took just over a week from issue to arrival - PIN arrived same day..
    Never argue with an idiot. Especially not this idiot because I'm always right anyway.
