    Weird thing was they contacted Ste to confirm some stuff and to tell him he'd been accepted but they didn't do anything like that for me so I presumed I'd been declined! I'm sure I put that I had no income too!! :eek:

    I knew I had been rejected when they rejected my cashback. Then I got a letter saying no.

    Now the question is.... do we cut them up and cancel and hope that the cashback gets paid..

    or..

    Do we buy little things on it and pay it off in full each month... :think:

    I'd buy one or two small items on it and pay it off in full each month until the cashback is safely in your account, then I wouldn't use it for about 6 months before cancelling them completely! That way, you will have a good credit record but you won't have too much credit so if you want to apply for 'better' cards with lower rates you'll stand more chance of getting them!

    Well done on all your achievements - very inspirational.

    I think you're sensible enough to use it for little things and pay it off each month :D
