Vanquis claim that interest rates will be reduced year on year if you’ve maintained a good record. As I pay off the full balance each month, I rarely pay any interest, and any that I do pay usually comes in at around £1 per month. A modest amount for the privileges that I am now enjoying again

If you are looking for a card that helps to build your credit score then yes get one but spend low amonts and pay them back ASAP, the interest rates are extreamly high and takes forever to pay back if you spend above your limit! One late payment and it will show up on your credit score and will set you back!!!!
My best advice is to try else where and use this card as the very very very last option!
Once payed i will be shreading this card up and will never use them again

I have a vanquis card and cant wait to get rid of it. Loan shark rates. It takes ages for payments to reach my accout (sometimes over a week even if you pay on line) A rip off 0870 phone number, and when you do call them all they want to do is sell you insurance. All in all, sign up at your peril.
