    Just had a letter from Vanquis this morning telling me that I've "earned" Gold status and they're sending me a new card.

    Changes nothing (other than being given a free phone number to call them on) as far as I can see; presuming this is normal practice after a while.

    May I ask (anyone) how long after AD can I apply for a Vanquis card?

    I successfully applied four months after AD, that was November 2011 and my credit limit has gone up from £250 at the start to £2500 now.

    Horrible interest rate (59.9% in my case) but I've not paid a penny...pay off in full every month.
