    You will have to go through the normal application process and they may or may not accept your application. You can be certain that they will keep records about your previous account for several years, and those records will be looked at as part of their decision making process.

    If so, the account has to be closed for 12 months before you're eligible for 5% again.
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.

    That's the official line, of course. :)
