    HSBC gave me £2500 -- I have quite a lot of other cards. The girl in-branch said she would ask if I could get a higher limit but that proved to be not possible.

    My wife - on low income & not many cards - got £1500.

    (M.L.C. -- see my post about HSBC application [which I'm just about to do] on the other thread "New HSBC card - and it's a goodie")
    Expect the worst & hope for the best...
