    Hi Sutton

    Dont write yourself off-be positive. They must have been on the loopy juice to give me an account. You just never know with these companies!

    Good luck-keep us posted!!

    I am glad that I first mentioned about the Flybe card a while back now on this thread.

    It seems that so many people have applied and been accepted, when like me back then thought they wouldn't stand a chance of getting a mainstream card with a decent limit.

    I have just come across the website where instead of calling to pay your balance over the phone, you can now do it online. The address is:
    http://payments.creationfinancialservices.com/

    From what I can see, you can't log into any of your accounts here, but you can type in any of your card numbers and make a payment.

    The only one so far that seemed to have an online account management was the JJB card.

    The card recommended by the JD Williams group of catalogues mentioned a while back is called the Accessories card. I have now applied for this one also, and if I end up getting the Band A interest rate like I did with the My World card, I shall cancel the All Saints card as I am stuck with Band C on that one.

    When I asked customer services if my band rate will go up on my other sygma card I was told no, they never change. Not sure if that is true or not though :confused:

    well my brother applied for a flybe card last night and he has one defualt on his equifax from July this yr. also has a mobile phone contract which has lots of greens just one late payment last year.

    It does show that flybe have made the search on the file but nothing regarding the account being opened

    what does someone think to this?

    My limit on the My World card was £1000 on the band A 16.9% interest rate.

    All the Sygma cards I have applied for I have been accepted for. Four in total so far, athough I have now closed the JJB one down :)

    Well I applied for My world (5 weeks ago ) and the All saints (Two weeks ago- other half likes! and want's to hit 'Westfield'!) anyway heard nothing after I got the 7-10 days message. Should have kept the reference numbers.... and I could have possibly called up. Already have JJB (no balance) and gonna close as only small limit , and Flybe with £4k (done the balance transfers and put card away) .

    So still waiting....:rolleyes:
  • I have just been on the myworld card site and it looks like it is just for americans, or is their a UK version?
