  • The fact you're 18 might have something to do with it (no credit history etc)
    Have you ordered your credit reports? They might give you an indication.

  • Are you working? Is your salary going into the NatWest account?

    If your own bank is not willing to give you a credit card then your only options would be the Aqua type card or a secured card where you have to give them a sum of money equal to your limit and they give it back to you when you have proved that you can run the account properly.
