    It is clearly visible on the website and not hidden away at all. It is one reason I would never get a LTSB CC

    Elky is that you finished now with your stash of credit cards,you need a card with one big limit then you can lose some of the other cards..
    Because including your new card your total credit limit for all them cards is just over £4500,which them cards all being a prime card is not really that good..

    Limits aren't everything, plus I don't intend on getting thousands of pounds in to debt. My limits are perfect for me. :j

    on a kinda weird note, rbs approved me for a current account few weeks back, theyd posted out my welcome letter sign this etc and pop it into a branch and searched my equifax few weeks back when they decided to approve me, so im assumin they got back my id on friday just passed as they then did a fresh current account search on my experian....which i dont get considerin theyd approved me via equifax 2 weeks back i mean me sending in a copy of my passport etc i assumed was just a formality, all a bit weird
