    Say you dont know, if they didn't give an instant 'No' then you could be lucky, good luck anyway.

    In the example below I tick all five required boxes for excellent credit rating, but having been turned down in June by Capital One, I am expecting the same result on this application. They did a credit search on me on the day I applied so we shall just have to wait and see.

    My husband received a letter today rejecting his application for this card. I presume the fact that he does not owe anyone any money, apart from £5000 to Morgan Stanley/Goldfish (a bt) and has no outstanding debts except for a mortgage, which is and always has been up to date, he did not meet their lending criteria.

    If memory serves, applicants who have been turned down by C1 in the preceding 6 months, are normally excluded. Perhaps this card is different.
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.

    Well, that was quick. Received the 'unfotunately' letter this morning which leads me to believe that application was automatically rejected as I had only applied on Thursday. I had considered appealing but decided not to waste any more time. It would have been nice if I had been accepted but as I said earlier their decision is what I expected anyway. Good luck to all other applicants,

    Sorry to hear that you got declined, hope you get better luck next time, after reading some of the threads on here, I will more than likely get the same result as you....
