    My shiny new Cap1 card arrived whilst I was on my jollies - didn't think I would get accepted with the amount of searches I have on both my Credit Reports. £500 limit.

    Have adjusted my SOS date - I knew I wouldn't last long - managed 4 weeks ARRGGHH
    Official SOS Club number 004 - Dry until (05.01.10)

    Shouldn't think that would prevent you from getting the first increase on your 4th statement. I had withdrawn cash quite a few times on my cap1, started with a cc limit of 200 with the, which then got increased to 600 on the fourth statement :T

    Well thats a relief. People seem to say its really bad. I dont intend to make cash withdrawels again but for such a small amount it hopefully wont make a difference :)

    Nice increase for you there. I hope I get something similar :)

    If you want a new one just choose the design you like on their website, give them a call and tell them simply you have damaged the card. They will issue you with the new one :D
