Natwest and RBS 0% BT / 0% Fee cards. Same parent company but it seems you can apply for both.

Hi. Just wanted to let any stoozers know that although Natwest and RBS are both part of the same banking group, I have had no trouble at all applying for both cards within the last 4 weeks. Both were approved and with exactly the same terms and exactly the same credit limits. 

Normally from past experience this often generates an instant rejection, but this time there seems to be no such issues.

For the record, I applied for the Natwest card about 4 weeks ago, and then the RBS card 2 weeks later.

    I assume you still need to have existing accounts with both to qualify

    I had an account with NatWest at the time I applied (that I have since transferred to Nationwide for their £200 switching incentive), but I have no accounts at all with RBS.
