    Dont catalogues charge like a third more than it would cost in the shops ?

    I think Next charge the same on their website as in their shops?

    Do you mean Littlewoods etc?
    LW are good as you can pay in 3 installments and get 0% APR. My OH is a VIP with them and has a silly £5k limit :rotfl:He has had the account years though and has ordered loads of stuff through them.

    Congrats on your increase :beer:

    Hi, I've just opened a JD williams account, got told I have a £125 credit limit.

    Can anyone advise please ? as I dont want to submit the order and them try and take the lot of me card.
