    does anyone know how they work out the limit? my dad has £5500 outstanding on his CC so i convinced him to apply for this card, waiting for the paperwork now. he earns £55000-60000 a year and has a mortgage of £65000, which is his only other commitment. do you think he will get a limit of roughly £5500? if not i will get him to call them and up it but just wondering if anyone knows how they work this out.

    Megatimbo - sorry for being a bit thick here, but am I right in thinking that if my 'total charge for credit' is £524.31 - I am getting a limit of £6000? Ta,
    keep smiling,

    His limit will be between £7,000-£7,500.

    Sorry but this is completely wrong. His/ her limit will be £6000. No more and no less.
    You can either use the formula which I gave a few posts up or the figures that megatimbo provided from my post somewhere else.
    quick edit. Sorry stone7, I thought you were replying to chinagirl. And yes CG, you are right.

    Cheers.
    How did you do that?
    I input Marks and Spencer and nothing found.
    With trouble ;)
    Both M&S and Marks and Spencer returned no results, so just put in spencer and it found it, very strange :)

    Has anyone got their vouchers yet?

    I was told on my last statement that all points earned up yo 8th October would be converted and sent shortly.

    To date I have had nothing and am due £22 to spend in M&S.

    Also I recently took out an insurance policy which is worth a £20 voucher and I have not got that either!!
    It's far better to be penny wise than pound foolish.

    I havent received mine either. Not to worried though. I'm sure they will arrive soon enough. In very few cases they do not arrive.

    You have to be patient. They take a long time to send the vouchers.
