There isn't anything "on" the CC, it's credit that you can use.
I presume you want to kow your credit limit.
This will be on the letter that contains your card.0 -
Do you mean how do you know what the limit is?
Wait for the card or paperwork which will tell you. Or if you call them up they may be able to tell you over the phone.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

They will email you, if it's your first card expect Crap1 to give you about £200"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0

Really?
I've no experience of lots of credit cards, so I can't say, but, ...
My Cap 1 credit card had a credit limit of £6k, without me asking for it.
Does your credit rating, other credit cards, store cards etc, have an effect on it?
Maybe payment history on previous cards? Pay in full each month, pay the minimum each month, missed payments etc.0 -

The OP, by their comments, didn't seem to know very much about how credit cards "work" so I would assume it's her first card, hence my answer.
If you've been using cards for years and have a good history of repayment, the higher Crap1 cards give good limits......"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0 -
It will be on the card carrier mailing
