Hi all. I've spent the last few days matched betting. I've made £80 so far, excluding the £20 from quidco..
Going to be taking £200 from a Bookie tomorrow, now that I'm a little more confident with matched betting.

Oh i wish i understood it enough... i have tried and tried and think i do, but i am not that convinced to actually put my money where my mouth is so to speak...

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

TBH you get an auto increase on month 5(i think)
Just dont go over your limit, pay on time and always leave a small/no balance when possible.

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 matt .....

i got my card 2 weeks ago with a limit of £300.

got my pin within 2 days but the card took 8 days tho..

It is an RBS/Natwest card, they do an initial search on Equifax then Experian, I had to appeal to get mine.

I only know re auto increases cause i am a recent progress card holder and it said for classic and progress you get auto increases on month 5. I used to have maybe 7yrs ago and i didnt get a single increase then, but now it sems you do...saying that i have not been with them 5 months this time round so the auto increase is yet to happen for me...others deffo had it tho
