Tesco finally launched eligibility checker for their CC

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know Tesco finally have an eligibility checker for their credit cards, if that's of any importance to you.

They sent me an email saying based on what they know about me, I've been provisionally accepted and I noticed there is the eligibility checker too.

I use the Tesco Bank Your Community boards and made this suggestion a good while ago so it's great to see that they've managed to add it to their website.

It's about time they had this feature still better late than never, now HSBC could do with sorting out an eligibility checker for there credit cards.

Yeah, I think there was an article even on MSE about Tesco and HSBC still not having eligibility checkers. Though I remember HSBC did have it 1-2 years ago because I used it. Not sure why would they remove it later.

I think This Is Money also had an article last spring about it. But then they put one on the site only to take it off at the start of 2021. Don’t understand why.

Maybe it's simply that in the current economic climate HSBC don't see pushing their credit cards as a business priority?

I used it a couple weeks ago, but it very long winded, every text field is on a new page.

I used the Tesco one today, really simple, easy and quick, was given only 40% chance of acceptance.  Already had a card with them but on a poor interest rate so thought I'd chance it and was accepted instantly, decent interest rate, full length 0% balance transfer and purchase lengths and a decent limit.  You can also transfer limits over from your other cards with them once you have received the new one.
