    Me and my partner both applied - they give you an estimated limit just before you fully submit your application (but after the credit check) and they were both £6.5k so we didn't bother going for it.
    I'm puzzled!

    The original objective was to obtain 0% credit facilities in the order of £8-10K.

    You then had a chance to attain this objective, by getting (2 x £6.5K =) £13K of facility across two cards...and then decided (after incurring a credit search each) not to proceed?
  • You don't need to be puzzled YorkshireBoy - it didn't suit us so we didn't apply (don't really want to split the payment). Like I said before, we are not looking for any other forms of credit anytime soon.

    Thanks for highlighting that msallen, it's something I hadn't thought about. So even if I had applied for the two we wouldn't have used them anyway as there would be no point and we wouldn't have needed the credit cards for anything else.

    Thanks again everyone.
