in Credit cards
Hi
I wanted to ask which out of these credit cards is easier to get? What kind of limits do they come with?
I currently have 2 credit searches in the last6months
I only just want to apply for the one that is most probable to be approved at.

mbna dont like you having new accounts under 6 months, debenhams hard to say as they are selling to another firm so could go either wayDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

I got a Debenhams card fairly easily in store, and you get 10% of what you buy. I now use it to pay my rent, council tax and bus travel. It then gives me a voucher every 3 months to spend in Debenhams. (You have to use the card to send the voucher but that is only spending on it I do.) They also give you discount vouchers at times, which you can use on sales items - if you like their stuff. You can manage it on line and can make numerous payments each month so long as the payments don't exceed the balance i.e. you can't put the money in there in advance of a transaction showing - I've tried lol.
Mbna cards seem harder to get. I applied with similar circumstances to the Debenhams card and got turned down.
Debenhams card btw is with SantanderPaid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0
