    It's a manual decision.

    I got a straight rejection from them.
    What will your verse be?

  • Not a decline but it means that their computer thinks that you're a borderline case and your application has been referred for a human being to make a decision. In my experience this is normally a good thing although you might have to provide evidence of income, address, identity etc. It's certainly better than a straight refusal.

    Not if you had a few cards you wanted to apply for at the same time (to avoid them seeing each others' searches).

    Also I'd rather not have to bother with sending in documents.

    I had a flat out decline from Aqua I appealed it and it was over turned. I sent them a letter saying they were supposed to be helping people credit build as on their website as I was one of those (evidenced why, what good things are happening, credit limits rising no missed payments, proof of address and I.D photo copies) my limit was £250 and has just got up to £600 5 months later of using it well.

    Don't waste a credit search. :)

    Many lenders will ask for documentation, up to you if you want to bother but the credit search has already run so why waste it?

    Don't worry I got this message and then received a card with a limit off £1600. Only got the card for reward card.

    The limit is the lowest I have but it does the job!
  • I got this message too -applied for the reward card, and got a letter in the mail two days later, accepting me (no ID required) and providing me for £1600 credit limit, on the reward card, as long as I sign the form.

    Card came a couple of weeks later. Have you had any update from Aqua?
    Thank you all for helping me make my day by saving money!

    Just thought I would ring them and enquire...

    I have indeed been accepted, just need to wait for the paperwork, sign and return....

    Just give me a half decent limit............

    Ouch! :(

    Aqua seem to be quite picky considering they advertise themselves as sub prime lenders.
