    Yeah Barclays Platinum for the BT offer.

    Well might not be monsterous to you, but was to me - £12,000. Seeing as on my other cards my highest CL is £4k! Anyway, didnt need to card or the credit so it's gone now!

    What ever sort of salary are you on as this is about your 5th credit card in the last 2 months?

    Erm..I only have 3 credit cards so don't know where that came from.

    I've applied for 2 in the last 6 months one being Barclaycard which is now cancelled..

    You quoted this last month

    I have good credit - Instantly accepted for Natwest, Tesco (even though this is meant to be difficult), Sainsburies and recently Nationwide.

    That's not to say OP has these cards open still - they may be from years ago and long since closed :o

    I could list out all the cards I've held and it would cover pretty much every lender on the market (and those that aren't any more) but right now I have just one credit card :o

    izools - You are 100% correct!

    BugsyBrowne - Apologies, next time I want to apply for something I'll be sure to run it past you first. I was simply responding to someones question so why the dig at me?

    He decided to have a dig at you because he spends too much time on this forum.

    Sometimes you need to take a break and go for a walk........... a long one.

    Thanks sharpy.
    I realise your a bit unlucky with your sub-prime applications but have you tried this.
