    Eh?

    Did you read your contract at all before you signed it? If not, read it now - what does that say?

    The £1000 limit is inclusive of all transactions if you spend £1000 in one month and then pay only £25 off the next month you will only have £25 available to use.

    You can spend up to £1000 on the card (as long as it is available). If you’ve spent close to your limit, but only pay the minimum, there is hardly anything more available, as almost all the minimum payment will be swallowed-up as interest.

    But, if you pay the whole balance (or substantial amounts) then you can go up to your limit again in the next month.

    You must stay at any time within your limit.

    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    the others are wrong, its £1k every month call the call center and confirm they wont laugh much
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Please explain, £1000 credit limit is a £1000 credit limit to spend daily, weekly, monthly, yearly however you see fit.
