in Credit cards
Hi,

I already hold Barclaycard Cashback card which was transferred from Egg.

Is it possible to apply for another card? I am interested in their 0% offer.

Will be treated as normal new account application or they will take into account conduct of existing account?

Thanks
MS

    I was just looking around BCard website. On eligibility checker says:-

    If you already have a Barclaycard credit card, please use the main credit card page. Our tool is only set up for new customers right now, but that doesn't stop you applying for another card.

    You just can't have more than one Platinum offer IIRC.
    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.

    Thanks for all your replies.

    Anyone has a reply to my 2nd question:-

    Will I be treated as normal new account application or they will take into account conduct of existing account?

    Also is possible to transfer credit limits between cards?

    They will look at how you used your existing account.

    Yes.
