    First you pick up the phone.

    Then you dial the number for your credit card.

    Customer services will ask "how may I help you"

    You say "can I have a credit limit increase please"

    Wait for answer

    Pay for your stuff yourself instead of relying on credit :)

    Maybe the OP likes the protection of using the credit card (S75, fraud etc) and is planning a significant purchase for which there current credit limit is not presently sufficient..

    Buy off reputable company.

    I would wager pretty highly that OP wants something they can't afford.

    Judgemental or what ? Even purchases from reputable companies can go wrong. You do spout some rubbish.

    It really doesn't look like the OP has the brain power to even be considering those sorts of things.

    And even purchases made with credit cards can not be refunded. See some posts in the credit card section for proof. So what's your point?

    Why would someone who's clearly opposed to the very concept of credit cards be browsing and responding to post in the "credit cards" section of this forum? ;)
