that is VERY stange, I applied for JD Williams, and it said I had £150 as a temporary measure until they process my application (I read this is standard procedure) and I logged out and back in, and my £150 had disapeared, anyway I left it a few hours and logged in, and got told I now had £150 to spend, I thought cool, anyway I didnt buy anything at that time. Now I just logged in to check the account and the £150 has gone again, but the £150 was there and available to spend for about 5 hours this evening?!

Edit: I have now gone back in, and it says I have £150 again, weird! Anyway I went to order, and it let me choose 'customer account' and all appears to have gone through, all so very strange

If you have seen your credit dissapear by midnight, that is because they carry out system maintenance at that time. Check it in the morning and it should be there.

Yeah, I found this out a few days ago - the balance comes and goes all the time but the account itself is fine.

just signed in and found JD Williams have increased my limit by £100 :eek:

I seem to be bumping all my old threads tonight, but it's late and i'm bored and it's relevant

Since the last post and the few items i've ordered, JD Williams have increased my credit limit to £900 .. so it certainly does work, although i haven't recently applied for any other credit so I can't say if it's affected my credit rating in any kind of way.
