    Hello all


    I do like to drop in now and again if I have anything to share or update you all on.


    Just had my second credit limit increase since being with Capital one since my BR
    discharge in 2004.


    Started with £200 then a jump to £800 about 16 months ago now just upped to £1800.


    never asked for the increase just had a letter to say that's your new limit.

    Just had new white/purple card drop on the mat. Interest rate is now 34.94% and limit is still £1100. I'm not even using this card, lol.

    I am thinking I may just cancel it now... still over 2 years on and my CL hasn't budged from the initial £200, its more of a pain in the !!! to keep going in and paying off the balance once a week!

    LMAO u will NOT get an increase to 2k.

    whoever told u that was having a 'jokes on the customer' day. ur most likely to get a max of £600.

    Well i did'nt even get an increase to £600!! got an increase to a miserly £400 :confused: and that is after paying the balance off every month.
    seriously thinking about telling them where to shove the card now.
    EX POSTIE.

    Was the same for me on my fourth statement.

    Hoping I wont be like most and not get a second increase as I spend around £500 a month and get sick of having to 'reload' my card.

    limit rose to £1700 on 4th statment.

    When I had this card, my starting limit was £200. After 4 months, it was raised to £500.

    It stayed £500 for the next year or so until I decided to cancel it.
