aqua card

Options
I applied for an aqua card to boost my credit rating, probably a cpl of weeks ago and have had a letter come through asking me to sign the delcaration as my application has been looked at and I have been approved. Is this just the type of letter you sometimes get to 'egg' you on to apply or do aqua actually do this?

  • Hi,

    I have no experience with Aqua, but my Capital One application did this.

    I had my letter of approval and had to sign and send back , which I did and hey presto my card arrived.

    I imagine, its just like a credit agreement, some cards do it, if your unsure call them up and ask.

    Hope this helps,

  • I applied for Aqua card online and got instant decision. They sent me a credit agreement in the post for me to sign and return before my card and pin were issued.

    i also applied for one of these cards...... i signed the form and sent it back in the envelope......

    i really want to get a better credit raiting again... :)

    its so bad right now :(
  • I got an aqua card a few years back to help my credit rating, they were the only people who would give me a card.

    They have been excellent, and despite stupidly being late with a few payments, they never charged me a penny.

    Of course, the interest rate is quite high, but if you can pay it off each month, it's a great card, with great customer service.

    Two years on, I now have four other cards, but I will not cancel my Aqua. They were the only company who would trust me several years ago, and I feel a loyalty to them.

    I'm sorry this never answered your question, but wish you good luck with your application.

    i just hope it comes soon....

    i plan to pay it off in full everymonth... :)

    i dont want to be stuppid with it.....

    i have orderd a pre paid virgin master card as well... rates and offers seem resonable.... as i pay an american company once everymonth, they wont accept debit cards :(
  • I applied for an Aqua card as I thought it was ideal for people with poor credit history. I got turned down! Oh well, at least I am paying off what I do owe to others......it was just a quick pipedream!

    i have cleared 1500 overdraft...... and most of my expensive capiatone card! that i didnt realise was 40% so ding that first....

    i was trying to get 0% cards....... nut i ow nation wide on a 2000k credit card i had when i was 18! :(

    in total i now ow!....

    £0 of £1500 overdraft
    £2000 of £2000 to cc 17%
    £550 of £600 to barclays
