When I worked for Arcadia, I didn't know anyone that hadn't got them who wanted one. But some staff chose not to have them due to not trusting themselves.

This will not give you an answer but might help a bit. I work for a bank and had to open an account with them for my salary. They offered me one of the "premium" accounts which needed a credit check and I know they did the normal credit checks on me for that. I can not see any credit being given without the checks.

When you say bad debt do you mean missed payments etc or just a large amount?

Why not ask HR. If you do get the discount card be aware that it operates exactly the same as a store card. You need to pay of the outstanding balance every month to get the benefit of the discount otherwise the high interest rate negates the discount.

I dont know about the credit checking but when Ive had staff discounts like this, any communication is between you and the card company and I cant see your manager having any idea on whether you were rejected or not. It all gets sent to your house.
