    The usual increases are
    Start . Increase on 4th statement
    £100 - £200
    £200 - £500
    £500 - £1250
    £1000 - £1500
    Damn, they better give me some more quickly!:rotfl:. Although now the start of uni has gone, £550 split between both cards should be about ok, then hopefully I get accepted for more in the summer!
    Usually if you request a catalouge they will tell you your pre-approved limit. This does involve a credit search however if no pre-approved limit is offered you could argue the search and get it removed.

    I found that if you do it this way you are more likely to be offered a CL?
    Thanks, that would be this then? https://www.empirestores.co.uk/rf/emp/secure/navigation/catrequest/catalogRequest.do?cm_re=Homepage-_-Footer+Banner-_-Catalogue+Request

    I see it says "The £15 first order discount is conditional on being accepted for an Empire Stores credit account, acceptance is subject to credit status. If you are not accepted for a credit account you will not be entitled to the discount and will not be sent a copy of the catalogue. Minimum order value £25." So I guess if I argued they'd come back and say I knew I was consenting to a credit search by requesting it, because I wouldn't have got one otherwise
