    There is not a definite answer to your question, but keep all your finances in order for a year or two, and I would expect to be considered for cards that are not intended for people who have no other choice.


    thanks saint, i'd hoped for less time but hohum, i suppose as long as i pay it off every month i'll be okay for a while. thanks againx

    As long as your spending on the card and paying back chunks and so on I cant see what the fuss is about. There making plenty of money out of you. This credit situation seems a bit of a game. Well I'll play the balance in full game for 6 months now and see just how this has such an amazing effect on my credit worthyness amongst the credit world, but I wont hold my breath. Seems like a big sham to me. Once your card is marked thats it!

    Vanquis is a good card for building/repairing credit histories but don't ever borrow on one - the interest is far too high.
