in Credit cards
i applied for this and passed the credit check, the next step was them telling me they will let me know in 10 days weather they want to offer me one or not, is this the same for everybody were you get audited or is this some random check? i was hoping to get a card sorted today to start getting spending on it ASAP from now till xmas to reep them rewards!

Have made use of many introductory offers from AmEx over the years, most the time the application goes straight through but at least one has been selected for review.
You cannot use one credit card to pay another, the closest to that is a balance transfer and that doesnt count as a purchase. Even if you found an exception to this then almost certainly it would be counted as a cashlike transaction which again doesnt count as a purchase but also comes with fees and instant interest.
Not promoting the idea but if you have no choice of merchants and they dont accept the card then there are other ways you'll find people have claimed worked on here to get cash out of a credit card without fees but then you wont get any S75 protection or chargeback options for the purchase if it goes wrong.
