Hello All,

I recently got accepted for a Vanquis Card and was wondering if people could inform me of there start limits and their increases. Also if you pay in full? I know I have bugged most of the Vanquis holders on here, and thank them for there advice.

Also when was the last time you recieved a statment? Haven't recieved one yet.....

    Hi

    Opened account June 2008 with £250 CL, increased to £500 CL September 2008 and increased again to £1250 CL Janurary 2009.

    Received my statement 27 March dated 23 March but I think it could depend when your accounts is open when statements are produced, perhaps someone else can confirm either way.

    Regards
    Steven

    Hi I got accepted with £250 limit, in my 3rd month got increased to £500.

    I paid the first two balance's off and they were only small amounts. I have left a balance every month since then.
