applying for credit cards

Hi there,

Whilst applying for credit cards, such as the one for the "free" £25 in this weeks MSE e-mail, when you enter your employees details, do the CC company contact your employer.

I would prefer my boss not to know my own buisiness.

Many thanks

Steve

    They might, but they would be more likely to ask for a pay slip first. They wouldn't say what you had applied for in any case, just a financial service or something like that.
