HSBC Credit Card

Hi

I applied for the card in January but was rejected. When is the best time to reapply?

    After 6 months, I'd leave it 8 months to be certain!

    or even a year if you can wait that long! in the mean time you may want to apply for one of the credit builder cards such as capital one classic or vanquis. by this time next year (if you've managed the cap1/vanquis etc. card well) you should be able to get hold of HSBC or mainstream card.
