Hmm, Well I dont have the best of credit files, I put my details in very quick application.

Got 3 ticks when it performed all the checks, Then it said i was approved, said i would get my card in 7-10 days, Quite surprised i got approved. Signed the agreement.

But i wont be surprised if i get a letter saying "sorry due to further checks were unable to provide you a credit card"

    Oh well, keep your fingers crossed. And if everything is okay, remember not to keep your card and PIN together in your new wallet. :)

    Hmm, well i called them and asked the status, they told me its been sent for manual review. even though it said online i was approved and i signed the credit agreement.

    weird.
  • Cash advance is when you withdraw money out of a cashpoint on the credit card. A VERY EXPENSIVE WAY TO BORROW, Plus alot of people forget about the £3 advance fee and sometimes it takes you over the limit.

    It sounds like the matter has been referred when it is going for manual review. They have to do further checks.
