    I heard back by email after a few hours of application to say I'd been approved - But I don't hold a HSBC bank account ...

    Your application may need to be reviewed manually by a human, so the earliest you should hear from them is Monday afternoon.

    Do they definietly only check Equifax for their credit card applications?

    I called and they told me Experian. Only differnce is I have 2 fewer searches on my Equifax file.

    No, I didn't have any searches on Equifax from HSBC ... Just 3 unrecorded searches on Experian ... Don't know about Call Credit as I don't subscribe to them ...

    I was under the impression it was equifax, but alas I see a check on experian.

    They will see the previous searches and blow a rasperry at me :(

    I'll eat my hat if they don't (I'll have to buy a hat first)

    I think I'll have to forget applying for cards for a while..........

  • How do I find out if I have been accepted? Should the card show up in my internet banking if accepted?
