    Had it in past, limits depend on personal circumstances and commitment levels.
    Average card really, good for the points if you fuel your car in Tesco garages etc...

    Tesco gives instant decisions and credit limits online (provided that your ID can be verified electronically via the electoral roll.)

    There's a good introductory offer on balance transfers at the mo. 14 months at 0% is currently available to new customers from Tesco. A 2.9% BT fee applies.

    It's not an exact science of course but, judging from the posts on here, you're more likely to get a generous credit limit from Tesco than some lenders I could name.
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.

    Had a tesco visa for years - was upgraded to platinum card when they changed the points system years ago - all cards used to give 1 point for every pound spent in Tesco and 1 point for every 2 pound spent anywhere.

    The new cards now only give 1 point for every £4 spent anywhere other than Tesco (I believe).

    My platinum card still gives the old 1 point for every £2 pounds spent - I use it to pay for everything and acumulate loads of extra points - last year went to New York and Las Vegas using thier clubcard deals.

    So I would fully recommend the Tesco Visa - if only for the points!!!!

    You can either get the 0% on purchases for 12 months version of the card or the 0% (I think for 14 months) on balance transfers. I actually applied for the wrong on originally and had a quite a lot of trouble getting them to give me the 0% on purchases for 12 months one - both application forms are very similar.

    I have an Amex card and an A&L card Omar. No debts.

    I opened a Halifax regular saver account when it was 7% and am trying my hand at a bit of stoozing. Hope I'm getting it right!
