    hello kazzajr,
    i had that as well. its fine it is your online protection You register the card with a password. Each time you make a purchase you give the password you register with
    Thanks for that just found it weird as the site name had nothing to do with cap 1 was wary of putting my details in.
    That's ten pounds of vouchers toward the biscuit mountain* though, not to be sniffed at;)

    * I'm saving my point vouchers for the luxuries that make Christmas vaguely bearable. The biscuit mountain being part of that :A
    I thought you were better off getting the clubcard deals rather than spending the points instore as they are worth 4 times the value via deals?

    I only used Tesco as I had codes, there isn't a Tesco near me and since I don't drive I usually go to Asda. so it is only now that I've got a clubcard (well have an online one anyway).

  • Greetings All

    Now my final debt payments are almost at an end :j I wanted to start getting my credit history back towards almsost normal.

    To this end i have applied for a vanquis card online. The one with the rather reasonable 39.9%APR(Sarcasm there).

    I found out they rang my mobile to try to speak to me was unable to take the call due to driving.

    1) Is this standard practice.
    2) If they do talk to me what info can i tell thenm that will aid my application.

    TIA
