    However we have so much available credit with cards that have never been closed I would not be surprised to be knocked back when they do the final checks.

    I always think that this factor has been overplayed on these forums. I've generally been able to get new cards whilst having a number of other cards hanging around unused.

    Well if I do get the NW card it would confirm your theory regarding too many unused cards do that really matter.

    Well despite of having thousands of pounds of unused credit they have advised me today the card and pin are on their way under separate cover.

    So based on my experience it would seem it makes no difference.
    I have about 9 cards with about £60k worth of unsed credit.

    60k of your own money instead of the banks money would be more appealing TBH.

    9 credit cards and you used to work in a bank.:o

    From my stoozing days. Used to generate a nice little earner but unfortunately not so easy now.

    Completely agree, I'm in a similar situation and I too got one of their cards with no problems.

    Oh I too used to work in a bank :)
