Strange Aqua Decision

Options
I have the Aqua 3% Cashback card. The one that ends on the 22nd January unless you filled out the forms for the replacement, which I've not. So that means that for me, it ends in just over 24 hours.

I've just received a letter from Aqua saying they have increased my credit limit from £500 to £650.

A little late, I think!

  • A credit card is a credit card even without the cashback; might become a lifesaver in an emergency especially if you do not have an obvious way to raise funds such as an overdraft or low rate loan.

    I don't think you understand. The cash back isn't ending on the 22nd, the card is CLOSING on the 22nd. No more transactions allowed.

    Anyone wishing to keep using the card has to sign a new credit agreement for the replacement.

    I've just been offered a £500 increase, shame I'm closing it soon. Seen another post on the forum about an increase today.

    Maybe they've done a review?
    What will your verse be?

  • I've long suspected that credit card companies have several different departments who have had a serious argument and no longer talk to each other. The limit increase people obviously have no idea about the card ending and were just doing their jobs lol :rotfl:

    Or someone pressed the wrong button and sent out credit increases instead of your card will expire soon letters.
