    Around how long is it before you get your first credit limit review if you use it responcibly?

    As for interest rate I'm sure he told me it was 39.9% for cash and 34.9% for purchases, nothing in writing yet though so will have to wait and see.

    They really !!!!ed me off with the hard sell first it was ppi then experian membership, wanted me to justify to him why I didn't want it. Needles to say the conversation went down hill at this pọint.

    That's a good limit to start off with... When did you apply as I only applied a couple of days ago and although they said yes, haven't had any text off them yet.

    much will depend on how much, and how regularly one uses the card.


    For example, try using it to pay for petrol [or diesel, obviously]...?

    Simply set aside from your normal income the required amount...eventually using that to pay the credit card off each month.
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
