    I have had my card just over 5 months now and still no sign of an increase. I am wondering if for some people they review it after 6 months?

    I held a Vanquis for 3 years (recently closed it).

    Started with £150 (APR 59.99%)
    10 months later increase to £550
    7 months after that increase to £1,250 (APR 44.99)
    6 months after that increase to £2,250 (APR 39.99)
    5 months later increase to £3,000 (which is the max with APR 34.99)

    I have had my Vanquis Card since April with a £250.00 limit. Always pay in full, but 2 weeks after my fourth statement no notification of an increase next statement so presume I am not getting one :-(
  • I have been with Vanquis for over a year now. They started me off with £500. I received a letter saying they were increasing it to £1,500 on the 10th July. I thought great went out and treated myself to something expecting the limit to go up on my card.
    The 10th July came no higher limit, So I telephoned the company to be told I had gone over my account by £1.29 , so they would not be increasing my limit until another 6 months .

    Well didn't get an increase on my 5th month statement did on my 6th increased from £250.00 to £500.
    Emails couple of days after my 6th statement 04/09/15 advising increase would be on the 07/10/15.
    Email received 04/10/15 advising credit limit increased and it was now just need to remember to pay it in full every month
  • Had a vanquis card for about 4 years now

    Limit is now 3500 and I think the total interest give paid them is about 30 quid over the 4 years

    Always paying it off
