How long to wait between applications

yus786

I applied for a &MORE card back in Oct - which i got.

I applied for a Smart Card on Saturday which got accepted.

I'm thinking about applying for the Sainsbury Card - how long should i wait before making the application?

Thanks as always

Six months

Why do you need so many Credit Cards?

If yus786 is anything like me, he/she will be doing balance transfers. I've got 9 cards at the moment but am going to get rid of some when they're paid off.

Really? Six months between applications? How much would it affect my rating if I made 2/3 in six months?

I applied for 3 in a month and got them all. That was last year.

Since then i have applied for 3 more and got them all. So thats 6 in a little over twelve months

If you have a good credit history then one application per month shouldn't be a problem

Both Smart and Sainsburys are run by Halifax so that may have an effect on whether they give you both
