Two credit cards from one provider?

I have just checked my credit card eligibility on the website, and the ones I am most likely to be accepted for are all provided by Virgin. As already have a credit card with this provider, is it likely I would be accepted for another?

Thanks,
Lucy

    Some CC providers will supply more than one card to to an existing customer, but they are not likely to offer additional promotional deals (0% interest) nor to increase the limit significantly. The new card is not likely to come with bells and whistles, nor will it have a high(ish) limit. Alternatively the limits can be pooled, so both cards will have limits that are, more or less, equal.

    If you look for additional funds (and not just an additional card), look elsewhere.

    According to a post in this thread, a 2nd Virgin card is not possible...

    Maybe you should ring them and check directly with Virgin?

    I applied to Virgin (quite a while ago) but was denied because I already had an MBNA card. However at one point i was able to have 3 MBNA cards at the same time.
