    Everytime I buy something from JD Williams and pay it off when the statment comes there is always a messege that says in big letters "great news" then it goes onto say they increased my credit limit and I'm a valued customer and I should shop today as only selected people have been chosen for an increase. Blimey I must get lucky every month.
    Gives me a chuckle when the statment comes through anyway

    You have £125.00 available to spend

    So when you order something it doesn't give you an option to add it to customer account?

    Well least is isn't an Electron!
    Well it is but it isn't. Do Lloyds still do CG on their normal accounts? I have seen platinum Lloyds cards issued recently without CG and them customers pay for their account!

    I used to have the fee-bearing Ultimate Reward account from Halifax and that debit card didn't have a CG function either.
