Credit cards with decent limits

Options
I have £8.5k to transfer onto another card soon

Does anyone have suggestions for a 6 months 0% card? (Ive already got the 9 months ones)

    marbles from wanadoo.co.uk have a 0% for 6 months. In regards to the limit, most companies will tend to match your average credit limit as shown on your credit report
    I owe £3233 @ 0%

    You might find this poll a useful guide to who gives decent limits.

    Egg matched my credit limit for £6K I had to fax through a statement from my old credit card as proof.

    I also have MBNA @ £6k and you can go online and increase the credit limit.
  • I already have Egg and I've had MBNA in the last year. I wonder if MBA will let me have another stab

    they'll let you have a couple of cards with them, plus if the credit limit isnt so good on the new card you can close the old one and transfer the limit!

  • got £5000 on eggmoney, and last month £5600 with mint, gonna try for the abbey sbt card later this year.
    (interestingly after i moved 3k form first direct to egg, fd reduced my limit to £1100...i might have a word with them if i need to shuffle later)
    money never sleeps!

    During my time as a card tart I have had 4 MBNA cards and then I swap it into my husbands name immediately after and there has never been a prob, if you get the cash into your current account, they don't check what you do with it.
  • Halifax-1 gave me a decent limit, 12m @ 0% with £50 bt fee
    Don't waste your words I don't need,
    Anything from you.
    I don't care where you've been or,
    What you plan to do.
