Just curious but I recently got accepted for a Tesco Clubcard CC for a good BT rate which I intend to use. They also do another card with a good purchase rate.
Is it possible to have 2 cards from the same provider to benefit from two seperate purposes?

Thanks

    Yes it's possible to hold two Tesco Bank credit cards.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    Yes. Tesco actively encourage it.

    I got a Tesco balance transfer card in April.

    A month later they offered me a purchase card.

    I have had a Tesco credit card for about 10 months. I've received two dedicated letters and 3 or 4 emails, some inserts with the statement, and every time I log in there is a heading advert, all saying I am pre-approved to apply for another card, 0% on purchases for 30 months, like the post above.

    Ask Tesco.

    It might be possible.

    Will have to look on the community forums.
  • Can I ask did it say 'pre-approved' on the account summary page? I have an invite for a second card but it doesn't say 'pre-approved'.

    Many thanks
