    So what's your limit then? £400?

    Initial limit £400, increased to £520 in November. Further increase refused March 2010

    OH has one that started on £200 in November and has just been refused increase (would have only been £60 anyways)

    They do a full credit check every time you try for an increase and then increase by 30% which seems a bit draconian when others will increase based purely on your history with them and by a lot more but hey

    £200 limit? I'm surprised, I always though Sygma gave good limits. I've got £1000. Wonder why.

    It's the accessory card which I think tends to give lower limits than the flybe or silver cards
