    Agreed that there's better cards for domestic spend. I use mine for the same reason as you (only foreign cash really, purchases go on the Aqua reward).
    .

    I've got a Halifax account so use the Clarity and Aqua card for all domestic spending - managing it correctly I get £5/month cashback for the Clarity card and £100 cashback/year with Aqua.

    Same here, but I got a £8.5k limit, did have a lot in one of their savings accounts at the time though.

    Only low limit I currently have is a amex everyday cash back, 2k which is the lowest I've had for twenty years, but fine for the 5%.

    Damn I only got 3.9k with my Halifax.

    I really can't understand why 3.9k and not just 4k.

    Come on, be honest, if they gave you 4k you'd just go mental on a drug and sex fuelled spending spree, I already have, twice.

    I've had the card for 18mths now. Limit was 9.4k to start, I didn't ask for an increase, but they offered me one a year later to 10.4k.
    Monthly spend is between £300 - £3,000 - normally around £500, which is always paid in full. I use it for overseas spending, and in the UK in places that don't take amex.
