    Out of all cards I have ever had, only one got referred which was MBNA, it seemed to only delay it a few days at the most, and came with my highest ever starting limit with the full 0% offer period.
  • After hearing nothing for three weeks I phoned Barclays. After what seemed a scammers delight in the sheer number of details they needed to authenticate me I was told that they didn’t receive the signed agreement letter I sent back in their franked addressed Priority envelope three weeks ago. Therefore my application is now lapsed and if I want a barclaycard I will have to reapply.

    Incredible.

    Only recourse now is a complaint, although I already did that weeks ago and it was ignored.
    Certainly not going to reapply. One hard search in the last six months, by Barclays, all for nothing.
  • My experience has been quite straight forward I’m just waiting on my card now.
