Hi there,
I think I read before in MSE forums about Nationwide Credit Card being easier to get than the Debit Card, is that true?
I already have a Cashcard with Nationwide - now for convenience I just wanted to either have a Debit Card or Credit Card with them - easier for me to make foreign purchases an so on. (I settle credit cards in full anyway, so not worried about interest etc.)
Which one do you think I should go for?
Thanks!
I have a credit card with nationwide but when I tried to open a flexaccount they only offered me a cash card and no OD....
Make of that what you will.
I tried for 18 months to get a debit card with Nationwide, 3 times I was told to go back in 6 months, was never told a reason. Went to Natwest instead, they gave me a Solo card instantly, and in less than a month I got a Maestro card.
credit card is deffo easier to get. Though I do have both :D
It is definitely easier to get a credit card from Nationwide!

I have just been accepted for 2 flex accounts with debit cards, but I can't get a Nationwide credit card ;)

They're weird! No wonder they take their pride in saying "proud to be different".

I wouldn't take it personally, banks seem to be so inconstant with who they do and don't approve atm.
