Questions

Many do, and some waive them under conditions. The provider's key facts statement sets out the actual fees.

Providers usually check your credit report when you apply. Ask the provider how this is recorded.

Important to know

Rewards, limits and approval are set by the issuing provider. We never advertise a card rate or benefit without the provider's approved content. All financing and account applications are subject to the relevant provider's policies and approval.

An enquiry is not a credit approval, quote, contractual commitment or bank application.
