PROLIANT

What do you think my chances of getting a Diners Club international card are?

Hi,
I've been lurking on this thread forever, but been a bit too shy to post before, but just couldn't resist any longer..:rolleyes:

So... after plucking up the courage to look at by credit report, I applied for Aqua (got it with £1000), Vanquis (got it with £500), turned down for Barclays basic card, MBNA and Monument, but have been accepted by Cap 1 (got my PIN but waiting for my card and limit) and have had the ''we'll contact you in 7 - 10 days....'' from Flybee.

And now I have a question (well, 2 actually!!)
How long does it take for the Cap 1 card to come through?.... and

fairmorn308, how long from getting the message on the Flybee application did it take for the card to come?? cos it's ages since I applied and haven't heard a thing..

took less than 7 days. i got that message and then next thing i know i had a card in the post

Got my nice shiny Aqua card with a limit of £450 :j
So in my Sub-prime stable I now have

Aqua £450
MBNA £500
Vanquis £250
Have set up full D/D's to pay balance each month so wont miss any payments or get any late fees and hopefully will get a nice row of green blobs on my credit files and then hopefully next year get a nice 0% card:D

That's great news :j . How exciting to have a new bundle of fluff around the house .

I cannot imagine what life was like before my pooch - he is my baby He still thinks he's a lap dog though, he'll always try and squeeze on the chair with me even though he's blatantly too big lol.

Well, this A&L stuff don't half come in dribs and drabs lol. Tuesday I got my welcome pack and pin, yesterday I got my saving account no, today, I got my chequebook.....lol wonder what I'll get tomorrow???

I did notice that MBNA have done a search this week. I'm guessing it must be to do with the cc application I did with A&L as they are MBNA. Not looking good, as I only got my MBNA in August. I doubt they'll want to give me 2 cards lol

Anyone else had anything in the post today????

Not that I've seen. Only JJB do, unless anyone else knows any different

I received my A&L card in the post today, and the cheque book
