Applying for 2 different cards from Tesco

dannymccann

Hi all

I'm waiting for my 18months 0% Purchases Tesco CC to arrive in the post to fund a big purchase, but it wont cover the whole lot.

I have another CC with a good limit on it to cover the remainder but it is an expensive 18% APR one. Was thinking, could I apply for Tesco's sister credit card, the 0% for 12 months, £0 fee balance transfer card to move the balance to this one or would I get rejected based on 2 applications to same lender in very short space of time?

Goes without saying I could fund this purchase in straight cash (debit card), but I want to hold on to my cash for as long as possible!

Cheers

What do Tesco say about issuing more than one card?
Most won't let you have more than one.

won't they?
i know CapOne don't...generally
but all of MBNA, Barclaycard and Amex certainly do

They say...

Please check that the following statements are true:

• My annual income is £5,000 or more.
• I'm 18 years of age or over (the same goes for any additional card holders).
• I've got a good credit history.
• I live in the UK or have a BFPO address.
• I don't currently hold a Tesco Bank Credit Card.
• I have not applied for, or closed, a Tesco Bank Credit Card in the last six months.

...on the pre-application page.
