I soooooo love my Aqua card. It's my favourite. I was going to get rid of it at one point because they only gave me a limit of £250, after several increases it's now got a limit of £1850 .0 -

Just been rummaging through paperwork so i could reply. lol
I got the card in june 2007 & the increases were roughly every 4th statement. Started at £250, then £900, then £1250, then £1850. The maximum limit is £2,200.
I pay it off every month to avoid interest but they have ended up offering significantly more than i got anywhere else. It has been a godsend with unexpected vet bills before now, and to think i was going to cancell it at one point because the original £250 seemed like a waste of time. I'm so glad i just kept it now because it was certainly than worth it.
