How high is your available cc limit?

JA1000

I am interested to understand what limits Credit Card companies go to and what the highest limit is out there

For no other reason than curiosity. I will kick off with

Barclaycard 1 - £10,600
Barclaycard 2 - £10,200

Would they prevent the available to be less than £25k or we enter secured territory?

My Nationwide Cash Reward limit is £10,000. I'm pretty sure they offered me higher but I was happy with a nice round number. I've seen some premium cards with minimum £50k limits to unlimited but these are only available to the extremely wealthy.

My mate's had the same cc for over a decade, impeccable credit history, think the limits at around £14,000 at the moment. They just kept increasing it.

I know you have your reasons by I am happy to have a high limit - whilst snowboarding a number of years ago in fading light, yep a good excuse but I broke my ankle

The english medical centre who were fantastic were not interested in any insurance documents I had. All they wanted to see was my credit card. I watched so many people turn up with an insurance certificate and either be refused or get their cards out.

I paid quite happily - you can't put a price on your health. I put the claim in upon my return and the insurance company paid before the cc bill was due.

For this reason I will always have a credit card and I will always encourage others to have them. It's how they are managed that counts.

Ditto...

My first MBNA card limit is £16,000, which started off at around £5,000 and they kept on increasing it every year.

My second MBNA card limit is £6,300.

Both cards have £0 balance.
