    I didn't think I would be able to get a credit card but I thought I may as well apply for the Barclaycard just in case. Anyway, about a week later it arrived through the post with a limit of £600 - I was really chuffed even though I didn't really need it - Three months later and I'm here with £2.98 left on it and not one thing to show for the debt. Now I'm trying to get another card but have been refused everywhere. My monthly payments are around £30 which I think is great and I can pay online with no fuss. I would recommend this card to other students but beware of your limits and only use the card to buy stuff you need and definitely don't use the hole in the wall for cash - you will get charged.

    Since I'm generally unorganized and leave ...

    I applied for a Student Barclaycard Credit Card when I was still a student. In fact, the nice lady at the bank was pushing the idea to me, she said there should be no problem with my getting credit. I hate using them, but do like to have one just in case. So, I dutifully sent off an application - TWICE - and even though I was a postgraduate student with a decent job (teaching undergraduate tutorials three times a week), they did not approve me and never said why.

    I don't think it was a cre ...
