    I now have my aqua credit card and have an initial limit of £350, and im planning to use it wisely to build up a nice credit limit but can anyone tell me what the credit limit increases are and how often? Thanks
    Thinking it over...:o

    Yes, well done london lad, looks like you have been accepted - I got a letter saying get stuffed!


    cheers will see what happens. Thing is I originally asked for a balance transfer , but dont need it now as I had a couple good weeks at work so sent a cheque off to pay the original card balance transfer.

    Will this affect the application , as it asked me to send credit card statement for the balance transfer request?

    What do you all think.?
