They must have been fuming with me (and others) then a few years ago when LTSB launched 'Save the Change' with a £100 'match' over 2 months, as I was making several dozen £1.01 payments with my debit card each month.Although it does make me consider how many £1 payments I can be bothered to do to rack up their costs

But the black card away and grow up.Good to see your posts are just as racist as normalSince when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 - 
            
My post r.e. call centres was not offensive!Eh? I'm a middle class white guy. But I find a lot of your comments quite offensive.
If you find my posts offensive then don’t read them.:)Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution.

If you want to buy a big price item which would be more than your credit limit, contact them, explain what you want to buy and get the limit raised. If you normally pay off in full and have a track record with them, why would they not do that?. . .. Making overpayments has been the standard way to put the card in credit to allow you to make purchases greater than their usual abysmal credit limits - seems they're now preventing you from doing this. We'll be trying to find a few workarounds to this on the stoozing site over the coming week.0 -

Getting the limit raised involves a credit search, and I try and keep those to a minimum for making actual applications.
Ideally, they'd take a glance at my behaviour with them over the past however many years and not do the search, but at the end of the day I'm just a number to them."A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five." - Groucho Marx0
