Santander credit cards

in Credit cards
I already have a card with Santander, they are offering 0% card. What are the chances of me getting this. I owe £300 on their card but want to transfer £1000 from Tesco onto a zero card. I have tried Virgin who have refused me and I have never been refused before.

With Santander I guess the chance would be somewhere between slim and no chance if you already have a card with them. I wouldn't worry too much about Virgin they refused me last year too and I'd never been turned down before either, I just took up an offer with Tesco Bank.0

Before applying for another card, have you at least checked your credit reports to make sure all your details are correct?

Hi, I have two credit cards with Santander one is a 123 and the other 15 month 0% on balance transfers and purchases.0

I don't believe that you can have two offers with Santander but check their website. When you close an account with them you don't have to wait a period of time before you open another card unlike some lenders. I closed one card and opened another on the same day! I got the 15 months 0% card with no fee this way after closing my 123 card. Hope this helps.
Post note : I no longer can see the restriction about having two offers so perhaps this no longer applies. Still my experience about closing and opening accounts was definitely the case for me.0 -
i would check your file with noddle to ensure that there are no problems you are unaware of, and then i would look to Barclaycard or MBNA for a balance transfer card.
i would guess more chance of success and more chance of a useful limit.
noone can really know in advance though. good luck.0
