Barclaycard Platinum limit?

mrsw

When I enquired about applying for a Barclaycard at my branch, the personal banker (who happened to be the Branch Manager) told me that because of my account history, I was very likely to be accepted for a Platinum card, but said couldn't tell me what limit I would get. Does anyone know what sort of limits they are issuing at the moment for the 0% Platinum card?

Also, my H closed his Barclaycard late last year. Can he apply for one now or will he be refused? Is there a time period that you have to wait before reapplying?

I got £5000 with a Platimum card, although only recently a Barclay's customer due to the £100 incentive.

Hope this helps.

I got quite a low credit limit from Barclay, about £3000 I think. I would have cancelled it but they already did a BT of some money I had put on the application form and the BT was 10 month fee free so I thought "what the Hell" I might as well use it.

My OH just received one with a £4500 limit. Balance transfer went through with no hassle also!

Penny-Pincher!!

Ive got an 9k limit with the Platinum. Started at 5k 6 months ago.

Just applied for one and am hoping for a £2000-£3000 limit. I had a Barclaycard before and had a £1700 limit, but didnt ever activate the card and a few months later cancelled it. Hopefully that wont go against me. My credit search was done yesterday so hopefully wont be too long before I hear.

SO are we DEFO SURE THAT THEY SEARCH EQUIFAX? Any one eles that has appiled lately, that has ordered there credit files?

Also if you hold a VISA Barclaycard, and want to apply for a Mastercard Barclaycard will they search Equifax too????

Thanks BOSS!(Did you also check you experian file?)

Yep, the only search was on Equifax and not on Experian. This was crucial to me applying so I wouldnt have been too happy had there been an Experian search too!
