Marbles Card

  • It's poor.

    I have a Vanquis and now the Marbles which was accepted the other day. I'll leave it at that until I can get one with one of my banks.

    Just trying to rebuild credit until my defaults and CCJs drop off in about 3 years.

    Two cards is enough to help, but no harm in doing a few soft searches. You could try a catalog like lookagain or JD Williams. JD Williams seem to accept anyone.

    I've had past problems and had to rebuild, I started with Capital One and Barclaycard inital, JD Williams and Very.
  • Yeah, I've also got JD Williams and Freemans account. Purely for rebuilding.

    I got a £250 overdraft the other day too so not sure if my bank score is improving!

    It must be....I've not asked my bank for an overdraft because I don't really want one. I've learnt from passed mistakes to only spend what I have ��
  • Yeah, tbh I don't use it. I just thought it may look good on my credit report but doesn't seem to even show.

    I don't understand the attraction with Marbles
    I started off with a Barclaycard Initial and then they allowed me to transfer it over to a Barclaycard Freedom Rewards Card.
    Barclays is unlikely to go out of business and the Card is a Visa Card.
    Barclays Initial was originally the only Company to accept me and I started
    with a £150 Credit limit. Now 3years later I have there Reward Card (1 point for every pound you spend and 2 points if its in a Supermarket) and a £3000 Credit Limit.
    I only spend what I can afford to pay off each month.
    I hope my story helps others that you can get there!
    Interestingly though just out of curiosity, I tried to apply to Marbles yesterday just to see what would happen and they declined me lol :)
    Who knows how these Companies minds work. I found it very amusing :)
