I've only used Morgan Stanley for their Platinum credit card,
and my experience has been positive. I signed up with them
a couple of years ago when I received an unsolicited mail
about the card. The main attraction was the cashback bonus
scheme. The leaflet included an application form and I completed
it and posted it back to them. It took around 2 weeks later
to receive notification I was accepted, and to have my new
platinum card. I use my credit cards quite alot, so as I moved
all my spending to Morgan Stanley I soon started accumulating
my cashback. The deal is that you earn 0.5% for the first
£2000 spent in a year and after this amount it raises
to 1% of the total. Sadly after 2003 I think they switched
this around to 1% for the first £2000 and 0.5% after
that. As I spend at least £10,000 per year on my card
this was a massive disappointment. I do always make sure I
pay the full balance every month by direct debit because the
current rate on purchases is 14.9%. Of course if your a new
customer there will be frequently reduced APR offers to attract
you. In my experience just make sure you meet at least meet
the minimum payment amount, and you should be OK. In summary,
Morgan Stanley has impressed me, the cashback rewards are
still a good incentive and Ive never experienced any
problems with the company so far.

Quality card and company which offer a great and simple reward
scheme. It's a simple scheme, you spend as much cash as you
want with the card and they reward you with a cheque based
on a percentage of the amount you have spent. This company
is a really classy affair, my card was once refused at a high
street shop, I phoned Morgan Stanley about this and not only
did they apologize, but also sent me a box of chocolates as
a gift to cover the embarrassment of the situation. I can't
think of many other companies and especially banks which would
do this. The service is simply exemplary and I cannot recommend
them enough.
