    I got no paperwork - the card took just over a week from issue to arrival - PIN arrived same day..

    This card arriving on the same day as the PIN business seems to be a frequent occurrence in my experience with Nationwide. Not massively impressed tbh as they don't send their cards out inactive, either...

    Thankfully yes. My card and pin are due in the next couple of days, hence my reply :cool:

    The card arrived today following my application last Friday night. Good to their word - £7k limit at 19.9% - also without any hassles at all from the point of application. Well pleased. :)

    No pin yet, but I suspect it'll arrive Monday or Tuesday.

    Welcome back to the mainstream :beer: It's been a long time coming :j

    i have just done a soft search, quoted £2500 at 15.9% APR what do you reckon my chances would be?

    bearing in mind i have 1 default on my experian credit file (equifax is clean) that is due to come off at the end of the month

    I would wait until the default has dropped off. Nationwide will search Experian.

    And once its gone, everything get's a whole lot easier.

    Since my last one has dropped off a few weeks ago, I've been accepted for both a Nationwide card and a Barclaycard Platinum card. Both accepted at 19.9% APR with very good limits.

    I'll be replacing my Vanquis and Capital One cards with these and closing both accounts, as the job they have done is now complete. :D
