Barclaycard have increased my limit.

ILW

My B Card has a balance of about £300 on it has has not been above that for years. I have just received a letter from them telling me they have increased my limit from £11,800 to £12,000. Was it worth the stamp?

Probably not, but I bet it has blown a whole load of sunshine across your ego writing such drivel.

Another newbie who doesn't know how to behave.

It does seem like an odd rise - just £200. Perhaps £12,000 is some kind of magic figure with them. Mine was increased from £10,000 to £12,000 a couple of months ago.

You can only begin to imagine how much sunshine my ego is bathed in right now.

Strange comment.

I'm just happy having a £500 credit limit with Capital One with my first credit card after a few years of repaying debt from my younger adulthood. I was expecting £200 but I'm going to behave so I can get higher limits in future. I'm a lot more maturer nowadays.

At least it shows they don't feel you are as much as a risk as before then, things are on the up! :cool:

Knowing Barclays, the letter reducing your limit to £500 will follow soon:rotfl:

Are you boasting or complaining.

If your balance is around £300 and has been about that for years then why don't you contact Barclaycard and request say, a £1000 limit? That would/could reduce your available credit which may help if applying for another card, loan etc.. It seems pointless "wasting" an excess of £11000+ for a limit you don't use.
