max credit limit?

Hi, I have read up on the top cards for new spending that have 0% interest. I have a good credit rating so getting one shouldnt be a problem, however I was wondering if anyone could give advice/ educated guess at the max I may be allowed?
I currently have a halifax bank account so was wondering would this make any difference to how much credit they would give as im all ready a customer of theirs?

thanks for any advice you can give

    Your bank Halifax do an half decent credit card apply for one off them, as for credit limit there is no maximum it will all depend on a lenders credit search.

    It also depends on your income, even if you have a perfect credit score if you're only earning £15,000 you won't get one that's very high. It's also dependent on your current available credit as lenders will not want to make too much available.

    I have a Halifax bank account as well, and got a 0% card with Halifax and Barclaycard

    BC gave me a much higher limit

    It depends on how good ur credit score is, my credit is a plus credit and master card gave credit line of $80,000 with 0% interest rate..so it all depends on ur credir score and credit history!
