New credit card from nationwide

superman1979

I got preapproved from nationwide for £3600. I want to invest the money. Does this mean they will turn down a loan of £10K now?
Will I get refused personal loans? 
What other credit cards would give me a higher starting limit? 
Should I wait a while before applying for any more?

1. Have you actually been accepted for the card yet? Preapproved doesn't mean you will be accepted they could still decline your application.

2. Quite possibly.

3. Who knows each lender has there own criteria and method of what starting limit they will give.

4. Depends on your circumstances, though to many searches in one go can make you look desperate and may deter other lenders.

You want to invest your credit card limit? I'm sure you know what you're doing - but surely you should only invest what you can afford to lose? What if your investment flops? Will you have the ability to repay the debt?

You only need to check the threads they have been posting to notice they are always after a get rich quick scheme, so this is probably another one that will fail like others they have tried.

There was a time when you could get 0% rate, zero fee tfr to bank account, and then  deposit ( not invest) and get 3% pa interest.   I had over £50k at one stage on this.

likely now to avoid the fee it’s a balance tfr ( so you already owe money) or divert spending To a 0% purchase card  so on drip.

Any return above 1.5% return pa ( below12m tie) comes with a much greater risk  Than deposit accounts, one that only you know if you are prepared to take.
