When you applied for a credit card recently (in 2012) which credit card did you apply for?

and how much credit limit did they offer you on that card, to use?


For example, - Capitalone, Offered me £600


what about you? what card? and what limit did they offer you ?


and also, is there an OPTION to go paperless? (turn off paper statements comming through your door, and just check your statements online ? )

    do any of them 2 allow Paperless statements, so the statements are just online, and paper statements can be tuned off?

    Both of these 2 cards are issued from the same bank which is Sygma Bank.

    I get paper statements through the door and there is no option in my online account management area that allows me to go paperless (just checked).

    Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
  • Can't understand the fascination in people constantly asking what credit limits other people have.
    Limits are based upon individual circumstance, why does it matter? They give no indication of what someone else may get.

    Of course they do. Are you suggesting that the limits offered by credit card companies haven't changed since 2008? The market is very different now and it's useful to see what limits other people are being offered as part of the overall application decision making process
