    I love HSBC -barclays have a lot of bad press mainly cos of reducing limits etc..... they got too big too soon.

    Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barclaycard

    What account do you have? What card also??

    Any O/D?

    So annoying, but not quite as annoying as finding your stapler, but then having no staples.;)

  • Just a quick update re: JD Williams (if anyone is interested). Applied this morning and got the £125 limit thing. Just logged back in and it now says I have £150 to spend...?! How random.

    Oh well done, looks like they have increased your limit after reviewing your credit file!

    Question for you - I have heard the chat about various card designs for the Cap1 card, but don't think I was asked to choose at any point - does that mean I will get the bog standard corporate one? I know it's an irrelevance, but just interested.

    Yes you will do.

    You cannot request a different design either.
