    Well, I re addressed the envelope and stuck a 1st class stamp on it, so hopefully that'll cut a few days of it. Not that I'm desperate, just impatient :o

    I did exactly the same thing:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've fond it to be the limit at the bottom of the don't mark below line. Same with all Halifax cards AFAIK - someone in the Clarity thread saw "6500" or similar printed on their credit agreement and that's what they had so it seems to apply to Aqua / Halifax / BOS / Et al FWIW :o

    Damn, a crappy £250 then! lol Nevermind, I'll build it up. How long before an increase?

    So for example, if you owed RBS money and opened an account with Natwest they'd decline the Natwest account?

    In a nutshell 9 times out of 10 they would declined the application.
    Im an ex employee RBS Group

    I think it is six months. You and I should be getting increases around the same time.:D

    5 months for an auto increase to £500 for me and Paris. Hopefully you get the same, if not then you can request an increase after 6 :)
