    If you feel you deserve a higher limit, give them a call and see if an underwriter can increase it for you. They will tend to check your credit file which does show as a search and from that can see what your commitment levels are.

    I would give it six months.
    Make sure you meet the minimum payments (as a minimum) on time.

  • I have a Barclaycard, start limit £1500 increased to £2500 after six statements. This was an automatic increase.
