barclay card 20 months. accepted. no limit

in Credit cards
is this usual?
I applied online. was instantly told i had been accepted "welcome to barclay card" etc - but they never mentioned what limit I had been given.
i only care as i want to make some balance transfers and want to know if the limit is large enough.
seems odd that they don't say.
anyone else experienced this?

Some tell you in the first letter you receive. This card was my first ever credit card and they gave me a limit of £2000 with it, this was told to me in the first letter.0

You must be lucky to have that kind of credit card for your very first one with a high credit limit when you have no (or limited) credit history... You must earn a lot.
Most people's first ever credit card is either a Barclaycard Iniial, Vanquis, Capital One Progres, etc...0 -
They'll probably just close it without letting you know as soon as it's received as per other successful customers recently

They will tell you via email what you limit will be"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0

Could just be being slow due to the holidays/short weeks.
But as mentioned above just be aware that barclays have been accepting and subsequently declining a lot of people recently (or closing the new account after the transfer has been done and then not honouring the 0% deal on the transferred balance).A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

Just don't make any plans as yet which involves that card, I would wait until you make your first purchase..0 -
I have had my Barclaycard for about 9 months now. They initally gave me an £1800 credit limit then increased it after about 4 months to £4500.Wins:Smyths Gift Vouchers, Sat Nav, £100 Next Gift Vouchers, £250 Dunelm Mill Gift Vouchers, £720 D&G Perfume, £200 Asda Vouchers, Johnnie Walker Gleneagles Tickets, Edinburgh Virgin Festival Fireworks Tickets, Givenchy Dahlia Noir Perfume Set, Long Weekend in St Petersburg, Russia, £250 Selfridges Vouchers, £3000 Family Trip To LAPLAND!!!!0
