Tesco or M&S

Options
I am trying to decide which 0% interest credit card to apply for. I already have one Tesco CC that is nearing its limit. How successful (or otherwise) have people been in getting a second card? Have they been as generous with limits and did you still get the maximum interest free period?
How choosy are M&S over their customers and how generous are they with their limits?

  • It depends person to person - no one knows

    Try some eligibility checkers to see what cards you can qualify for - though you won't find out limits etc. until you proceed with an application and are accepted

    What are you trying to achieve here ?

    Transfer the current debt to zero % or run up another lot of debt ?

    Just to slow stooze by using it as an everyday credit card.
    I wondered if anyone has experience of Tesco being more stingy with limits on a second card or the 0% offer period.

  • Again, varies person to person

    No one can give a definite answer

    When I applied for my 2nd Tesco card they gave me a higher limit (both times they have given me roughly a fifth of my gross salary).
