Aqua Card Credit Increases

Received my Aqua Card in the post with a £250 limit.

Just wanted to know what peoples increases have been in what time scale.

I have had a Capital One card for 12 months and only just had my first increase from £200 to £500.

Also with Aqua is it best to wait till they increase you automatically or can you request them?

    After 6 months with Aqua, you can request an increase. Since your limit is currently £250, I'd expect between £350 - £400 to be agreed, as long as no outstanding credit and no late payments.

    I've had my card less than 6 months and received an increase last week from £250 to £600. I didn't request the increase, came out of the blue!

    I've been with Capital one for over 2 years NO increase. Been with Vanquis for same period, got a letter last week to increase it from £250 to £1000.
