Most discreet credit cards?

I'm looking to apply for a credit card to pay off a tax bill, but I don't want the people I live with to know about it. So my question is, which companies put their logo on the envelope and which don't? Aqua is the one I'm most interested in really.

    Can you switch to/set it up with online statements?

    All the CCs I have seem to put the logo on the envelope when they have cause to write to me (eg with annual summary).

    The people you live with really shouldn't be opening your post. If they're not, how would they know you're paying your tax that way?

    If you're considering Aqua can we assume you are looking at a poor credit lender?

    Online statements seem the simplest solution.

    Online statements are fine, I was more worried about when they send through the card itself.

    Any Aqua customers out there who know how it works?

    If you qualify for a prime card then you might be able to collect from a branch of a major bank if that's who issues them. Often easier to apply to a bank with him you hold an active current account as they have a better idea of your financial status.

    Thanks, are you speaking from experience here?

    If you get a credit card from a mainstream bank instead of a firm that specialises in credit cards, then people seeing your envelopes won't know whether they are letters about a current account, insurance, savings account, credit card or any of the other products that big banks sell.

    The only problem there is that I've already got a Barclaycard! ��
