Thanks no card yet but cant be too far away, cant wait for shiny new card, still waiting on deciscion on Tesco card.
Any sign of that card yet?
I think I am as bad as mbna as I haven't actually posted the forms back yet and I've had them a week!!
It was the £25 annual fee that worried me so I applied for barclaycard - just waiting for them to get back to me, hope it is a yes........but doubt it.

MBNA card hit my door step today and it looks a lot less subprime in design than my other cards Lol .Got the hard sell on Payment Protector when I activated the card which I said no to. Signed up for the online account management which looks straight forward.
Am now most defiantly riding the subprime wave:D with Cap1, Monument, Vanquis and now MBNA all packed in my wallet the only one that escaped me was Aqua ah well Seems Aqua use Equifax for applications when I looked at this report a few days back there was still an account that had not been marked as satisfied/settled which is I think why I got turned down.:(
I shall of course keep you all informed of any progress such as limit raises and card upgrades. Since a few of us got the MBNA card around the same time I’d be keen to see who gets upgraded/limit increased first so please post any progress.
Does anyone know when a credit card provider reviews an account do they check your credit file again to see what other accounts you have and what there credit limits are ? The only reason I ask is my Cap1 card was stuck on £200 limit what seemed forever but thinking about it went up to £800 shortly after Vanquis increased my limit to £2000 didn’t know if the two might be related or just coincidence.
