    Hi. I'm on a salary of £24k. Single, homeowner (mortgage).

    I normally pay off in full every month (except that I have a 0% purchases card, but I'm paying that off in full before the end date of November and am then starting again with the M&S card). Not worth me transferring the balance.

    Anyway, so far I have:

    Lloyds 2.5k
    Virgin 4.5k
    Morgan 4.3k
    Halifax 2,250
    M&S £6.5k!!!!! Not that I will spend anywhere near this amount!

    None of the above have any outstanding balances, all paid off in full. thinking of closing some.

    My Mint card has a limit of 4,150 and has £2k outstanding, to be paid off in full next week.

    Hope that helps!

  • Just called to activate card (Limit £3500 on letter).

    Also asked if I could do BT at same time. when asked what amount I said I wanted to BT as much as possible without exceeding limit with the interest added before next statement.I was then asked if I would like a Limit Increase???

    Asked about annual income, whether homeowner, and put me on hold, came back with increased limit of £4500 (bingo!!!!!)

    Trasferred £4400 from HSBC card at 15.9%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Try ringing this number. 0800 363459 I applied over the net about 9 days ago but I had received no email so when I phoned they did it manually right there and then. Successful! Yeah 3.9% ! Going to hopefully transfer my Egg balance.

    I notice on the application you dont have to put down your employers address, phone number or length of employment.

    Would this count against you?
