Applying Barclaycard as an existing Monument holder

Does anyone know whether Barclaycard permits existing Monument holder with a very good credit history to apply for a Barclaycard?

    I have a Barclaycard an was wondering whether I would be able to apply for a Monument card.

    Can I apply online as I haven't seen where I can apply for the card.

    Hmmm,

    Monument kept sending me mail inviting me to apply, so I decided to take them up on the offer, got good credit history, several cards.

    Anyway they as it happens they have been terrible, lost my application twice, said they were writing to me but could not say why and yet I never got the letters, in the end complained to Barclays direct (I have a barclaycard) as I could never get an answer to what was happening.

    Barclays soon sorted it but they gave me the card with 0% and a £250 limit, hardly worth the hassel and I can spend more than that in a month so would reach the limit far too quickly on it and thats only after I insisted they stopped sending me mail inviting me to apply every month.

    naw, there are better around, and mine didnt have the chip and pin on it either.

    may as well use the £250 (in an ISA now) and close it when the 0% runs out in November.

    I have a poor credit rating and heard that Monument cater for that which is why I'm interested in a Monument card. If I got £250 at 0% for 6 months I would be grateful for it.

    I know there are many cards about that offer much better deals but I personally wouldn't be able to get any of them.
