Highest initial credit limit was £11100 (that's not a typo - I don't know why it isn't £11000). Highest for an individual card now is £25000 and when I converted my Lloyds TSB Gold Card to a Lloyds TSB Amex they increased my limit from £10000 to £15000 on the new account.
Interestingly MBNA have just reduced the limit on one of my cards - probably because they aren't happy about the total amount of credit potential I have with them (just under £30K) since they took over 2 of my cards which were originally issued by Bank of Scotland. Doesn't bother me as I am trying to become debt free. I plan eventually to cancel some of my cards but prefer to keep my options open at the moment and take advantage of interest rate deals until I have paid everything off.0
