@AFKAE I wouldn’t pay much attention to the reasons card companies give; for obvious reasons they don’t want to give you specifics if they say anything at all. To the extent they cite Experian, it may relate just to an ID search and things that don’t directly relate to your creditworthiness.
I’m not sure whether the fact that I was referred by Mrs AFKAE as plat and I’m a BAPP makes things better or worse!! I was hoping to get 24,000 points for the referral and 65,000 for £6K in 6 months on my new plat. If the rejection is confirmed I’ll go for a retention bonus on MrsAFKAE’s plat which is just coming up to renewal.
