Hi all. I've spent the last few days matched betting. I've made £80 so far, excluding the £20 from quidco. I also applied for A&L for the 3rd time to get the £45 quidco. So far, I've made £145 in the last few days, even though the Quidco cashback will take some time to get into my bank account.

Going to be taking £200 from a Bookie tomorrow, now that I'm a little more confident with matched betting.

Well done! I'm so annoyed with Stan James, found an awesome margin last night, and tried to put 2k on it with them and 1.5k somewhere else, profit would've been in the hundreds, they've restricted my account to something pathetic like £100 or £200 win a time depending on the market, so after that's matched I made like a tenner :mad:

Oh my god!!!!

I think I have been accepted by Cap 1 for their Classic card!!!!!

Went through the initial assessment and eventually signed an agreement!!

Said my card should arrive in 7 - 10 days!!!!

I assume this means I will defo get a card now - guessing £250 limit?

Can anything go wrong with my application or has it defo been accepted?

What are cap 1 like for limit increases?

Thanks

Well done! Your limit may start at £100, £200, £300 or £500 and will increase by circa 150% on your fourth statement as long as you manage the account ok.

Proliant you say 150% increase on your 4th statement,i got my classic march 2008 starting limit £200 then christmas that year went to £500 and only last month they gave me £1500 but always payed in full every month,which basically now had the card 2years and 1month and still only have £1500..but like i said the other day these types of cards aint there to keep dishing out limits,like the prime cards!!

evening guys!
Just a quick one, not cc related lol. I was involved in a car accident a few months ago and today checked my credit report (experian) to find that the 3rd parties insurance company have made an 'enquiry' re me....anyone know why this would be? Its deffo the 3rd parties insurance company - i knew the name as soon as i saw it, copy and pasted it to google and it is them. They are being real ar^es at the minute with me even tho the 3rd party has admitted liability, so just curious

Thanks guys!

Will post back when I get my limit, do I find that out with my card?

Whats the best way to play Cap1 for limit increases?

Was thinking of leaving a small (~£20) balance on it but paying most of it off in order to keep the interest down..... let them make a small amount of money till they up my limit.

Cheers
