Change of address and credit card application

Options
I'm considering applying for the aqua 3% cashback card. Normally I would just do it and would have no doubts about being accepted, although I'm only 20 I've had credit cards and phone contracts since 18, all paid off properly. However...

I'm a student, so am flitting between houses. Just left one uni house for another, AND at home home I'm moving next week as well! I'm on the electoral roll at my old student house, and the home house I'm moving out of. Most of my bank accounts etc are registered at my old student house.

So what should I do? Best course of action I thought was to apply putting down my soon to be old home home address - there's a mail redirection so that would be ok, but what about my previous addresses?

    Put down the address your previous bank / phone / credit card statements were sent to. If you got them sent to different places, put the one where most of your stuff was sent and the dates that you changed them with the bank etc.

    You might also find it beneficial to register all your accounts to your "home home" address until you're more settled as you will find it harder to obtain credit putting a brief period of residency at your current address on application forms.

    Also, 94 people viewed but then they won't know if they are able to answer your question without reading it ;)

    All good :o

    Yeah, I'm starting to switch all my bank accounts etc to my new home home address. Maybe I should give it a month, then apply putting down my new home home address? I'll also try and get on the electoral roll there too.
