    He is playing over on the other thread tonight. :money:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Hi Dolally,

    I tried the Accessory card also and got a big fat NO too!!

    However I have just applied for the Argos store card as I'm in desperate need of a new cooker before christmas, but got told I couldn't purchase today as they needed to look at my application, so will hear from them in the next few days... They have already refused me for the Argos credit card :rotfl: so i'm not holding my breathe on this one but hey you never know :confused:

    Sorry forgot to add does anyone know how hard the burtons/Dorothy perkins/ Adams store cards are to get?
    :eek: Debts: Capitalone £0, Vanquis £220, LX Direct £1197, Mutual £1107, JD Williams £23 :eek:

    I think the burtons card is run by GE money. I believe they are tricky to get hold of a mate of mine has one but he has excellent credit history.

    I was just wondering if when Capital One send their cards out do they mark their envelope with their logo, just concerned that someone might realise what it is and I will not receive it.
