    I'd guess he is more likely to get an answer if he posts in English.

  • i got an £8000 credit limit on a card with no connection with the company

    the main reason why i am in so much debt today

    Mine was £250 in 1985,and still Is:money:
  • Depends what you call a high limit?

    LTSB will give a minimum limit of £10k on their platimium card... for an income in excess of £60k

    Where Vanquish give a fixed limit of £250 and an apr% of 60 ish %

    It all depends on circumstances and the bank involved

    However, if you have a steady income and a good credit rating, a suitable limit can be had from most lenders
  • I just applied for an AMEX platinum there and they gave me a limit of £6000.

    That's my first credit card, been using my wife's up until now..

    My wages are enough to receive the platinum card, but not by much..

    Lovely... :beer:
