Can I apply for a CC when on maternity leave?

I want to transfer my credit card balance to a 0% card. Do the CC people know I am on mat leave and will they reject the application based on this?

Thanks

    As long as you complete the information on the application truthfully in regards to employment then that is all they can assess you on.. Since you are still in employment then shouldnt be an issue. Cannot see how they can discriminate on such grounds...

    You get credit cards being on benefits so you being on maternity leave is not going to be a problem and of course they won't ask you either they'll just Ask your job.
