Can't get card for stoozing!

Options
I've recently applied for the Egg Card and the Virgin Card for stoozing and was unsuccessful in getting them which I was a bit surprised at. I've only ever taken out one loan in the past for £3000 to be paid back in 2 years and I paid it in just 1 so I thought that this would have increased my credit score. I also have a cashback Barclaycard which I pay back in full every month which I got three months ago. Do you think that this could be the problem in the fact that I've set up payment in full on it every month? I know that credit card companies don't really like this.

If you think it is then could I cancel the "pay in full each month" and just make sure that I do it myself in order to get my hands on some stoozing credit cards? :confused: Really need to get my hands on them!!! :cool:

Thanks for reading.

    I don't think it would show up on your credit file how much you paid off each card, merely that you had met your obligations (i.e paid the minimum amount or more). Paying less off the Barclaycard might encourage Barclay to increase your credit limit, but I doubt it would improve your credit rating.

    I could however, be totally mistaken.
