    Well done for being accepted and a nice APR,its a pi*s take when you get accepted for a credit card and with the credit limit you can't even go and buy an apple mac:eek:

    Try not to go down the same route izools did though which was to take out about 16 sygma credit cards with a total credit credit limits on all cards was around £25.00 then get rid of them 6 months later!

    Chance would be a fine thing lol

    does anyone know why a search i had done by creation on 12/2/11 was on my table 1 searches up to 6/3/11 and now on todays report has disappeared, hence taking my searches back to 5 from 6, I know this is in my favour, but why has it happened, I always thought searches stayed 2 years. ;)

    I took out two symga cards- Silver and My World.

    The cumulative limits were #3380.00 when I closed them (1690 each) and I left them open for about a year.

    Get your facts right next time you want to have a dig.

    We did all go a bit mental applying didn't we? Fun times...

    Seems they've tightened up their credit scoring and managed to pay for a whole new website and product range after we all got cards from them :)

    Obviously made a bit of moolah out of us.

    Don't know why you guys have a hang up about Sygma. They give nice big £6k limits to good customers with nice 0% campaigns. Not had an issue with them but then I've never had any credit problems, pay by DD and have loads of available credit. That reminds me I must be due another round of £1k increases on my 3 cards with them and maybe some new offers on them too. Simples, always pay what you owe and only borrow what you can afford to pay back.:T

    Sygma have never been bad with me I have a nice credit limit and just been rewarded with 9 month 0%.
    When you say you are due another 1k on 3 of your cards the correct term should be sygma are willing to lend me more money,I also got the letter about them wanting to give me a 30% increase again,but I rejected it as some of us don't need to much credit.
