in Credit cards
Hi guys, was wondering if anyone knows if I can ask to increase my credit limit on my Tesco Credit Card while I'm still in the 0% on purchases period. Would I keep the 0% on purchases until the time limit is up?

Cheers

    As far as I can remember you can only ask to increase your limit after 1 yr, thereafter it's every 6 mths :(

    It will also depend on current debt to salary, if you have over 50% your current salary in debt you are a risk.

    It all depends on individual circumstances, your income, your level of current debt etc....
