How do I use my full credit limit?

I have a Barclaycard and initially they gave a limit of £1200. Then (after 3 months) I got it increased to £2500. Now they have increased it again to £3400.

The trouble is I can't use up the limit because BT's were only allowed for the first month and I'm not a huge spender.

i do have an MBNA card which is soon to expire and I want to transfer it across to the Barclaycard and utilise the credit limit rather than having to apply for yet another CC.

Is there any sneaky way I can do this?

Thanks

Jon.

    Not unless you can persuade Barclaycard to extend their offer. Otherwise cancel and reapply in 6+ months time. If you are lucky they will give you the offer again with the higher credit limit. Until then apply for a different 0% card.
