  • It is possible, yes if you can get a new CC with a limit high Enough. This would depend on a whole list of factors, including credit you already have, limits of current ccs, income etc etc.
    Sometimes the limit you get seems arbitrary as within the last year I got a Barclaycard limit of 12k and then a virgin card of 4k. But I guess the lower limit on virgin was to do with the extra available I had, including Barclaycard.
  • we need to be very careful while transferring the some amount from our bank account to another through credit card.
  • The credit card is beneficial for us but it may be harmful also regarding our security purpose.
  • ?? two of the strangest posts i have seen??
    or is it in prep for spam
  • Pre-Spam warm-ups would be my guess - I've pressed the appropriate button on these and his/her other 2 posts.
