Is it true that MBNA are a sub-prime issuer.

I have been turned down by JJB and Aqua but accepted by Vanquis, Barclaycard and CapOne....would MBNA be any good.

    No, they are not, they issue a std classic card but it is not aimed at the sub prime market, it has lower acceptance criteria than their main stream platinum range but that is all.

    That's 5 applications with MBNA being the 6th? Each application puts a search on your credit report so at some point you'll hit a brick wall on the application side.

    From your other post, are you planning on making token purchases on these and repaying in full each month to build a credit history?
