Guaranteed card

Hi Halifax are currently offering me a guaranteed card when i sign into online banking. The card they are offering me is the halifax all in one card. The card I would actually like is the clarity card as I am going on holiday next month and I know this is one of the best cards on the market for foreign withdrawals/ transactions.

I have read in other posts that there is a specific phone number for guaranteed cards so I was wondering if anyone knew if:

a) it is worth phoning to ask if they'll give me a clarity card instead of the all in one for the offer and

b) if anyone has the specific number i should ring

    Apply online. You'll get the same result. I have heard that if you're guaranteed one card with Halifax you should be accepted for any.

    That's weird, after posting my questions last night the offer seems to have disappeared today!

    They must've changed their minds.

    call phone banking, they can see them
    Don'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.
