Barclaycard Platinum Credit Card with Balance Transfer

jayjayuk

I just applied for this card....... i was with barclays a few years ago when i was a student with a balance of £600 that was maxed out, but paid it off in full a few years ago and closed the account down.

The main reason for getting this card is to do a abalance transfer and pay it off within the time.

i currently have:

£350 of a 3,250 limit on my nationwide gold card @ 15.9%
£450 of £500 limit on mbna inital (they owe me £100 inital payment)

my main aim is to transfer the mbna balance and pay it off and hopefully my nationwide balance.

i will then close down my mbna card and use the £100 to pay off my nationwide balance some more if barcley card dont give me much of a limit.

my question is:

does anyone know the limits they tend to give it as it says from £250??

it says i was accepted for the card i applied ofr so does this mean i get it??? as i dont want their inital card! lol

also im shock i was accepted as i dont feel my credit raiting is that good, however i have no missed payments at all this year and i have paid a lot of debts off......

also i know barclays just cut limits at a drop of a hat.

i guess everyone is different, but I applied for this card online over christmas and the card just dropped on my floor the other day with a 10k initial limit which i was pretty impressed with. They also said on the letter that they will look to increase this in 6 months!
