cashplus credit card

today i got an invite to apply for a cashplus credit card,
i was discharged from BR in april, so didnt think i would be able to get one, as vanquis already turned me down .
anyway went to the online site that was on the preselected paperwork,
and they accepted me with a £1500 limit .
it says it cost £10 a year to keep the card ,
but i suppose this is a small step in rebuilding some kind of credit normality .
i have a couple of weeks to cancel it , if i find any horror stories about them
any thoughts or problems with them ?

no its not the prepaid card
just normal credit card0 -
I didn't see that they did credit cards too.
They offer me a pre approved £250 overdraft on the cash plus card which i have only ever used to pay the monthly charge because it is expensive to use plus they want you to pay £20 to get the £250.
The card is expensive to use and as i now have a vanquis so i figure i don't need it, although part of me would like to to go for it to help rebuild my credit file.
Do you have a link to the credit card, i can't see it when searching.0 -

Ditto, never heard of it and cannot find anything about it, are you sure it is not a scam?:pB&SC No. 298

Unless you have a genuine code it seems to redirect to the standard pre-paid page.
In theory £10 pa for a £1,500 limit sounds a great idea in terms of credit building - shame it seems to be invite only!0
