Ive got a student credit card with HSBC which i use quite regularly and i got them to set up a DD to pay offthe full balance every 6 weeks (6 week student offer instead of every 4 weeks). Will i still be 'earning' credit points/history on this card?

Thanks

Edit - or would i be better going with the Classic (however shite) Capital One credit card as this is a 'normal' credit card and doesnt have the dirty student tag attached to it?

Cheers

they wouldnt give me it what with being a student, plus i pay everything off as i spend it so interest free is useless to me, tried to get Egg's 3% cashback card but they rejected me also

applying for stuff and getting rejected reduces your credit rating also

dont try to apply for too much stuff without a gap inbetween
