    I got a limit of £4k and tier one APR of 18.9% , with a balance transfer of 0% for six months. To be honest I am using it too transfer all my balances over. I have a JJB card with them , with a limit of only £250.00 and APR of 24%.

    Idea is close my other cards - use JJb for day to day , pay off at the end of the month.And then in a few months apply for a Virgin or with my bank Natwest as I reckon they will see a card with a good limit and that I am managing well.

    Well I applied on Sunday 14th and got my card last week. Having said that as I already had a JJb card , they new who I was and had my signature on file. The first time I applied for the JJb it took around ten days for the aperwork and then around two weeks for the card to arrive . Also they called me when I applied for JJb to prove who I am.

    These cards are'nt for people with bad credit files I hear - not that I have any problems - just a lot of searches. Strange as well I can't see any footprints on my Equifax or Experian file?
