    From my experience of online applications, online decisions are preliminary and then they do a full credit search.

    For example, Intelligent Finance quoted when I applied for a Credit Card online that this decision is subject to final checks.

    But if you have had the credit agreement the checks have been done and the card is yours :D
  • :beer: :beer:Cheerz Jimmi, i couldn't believe it when i saw the credit limit :rotfl: and its the first application ive made without gettin a reply saying "unfortunately we cannot give you an instant decision at this time" blah blah but i thought right they've said yes but how long before they turn round and change their minds
