What's your aqua credit limit?

I got a aqua card in May/June and my limit started at £300 then in August they increased to £950.
I'm hoping it will increase again shortly as it's handy for work etc ..train tickets/hotels
Do you think they may increase early next year?

    Would you say this is a difficult card to get as I tried for it and got declined even though there is nothing bad on my credit files except maybe a few too many credit searches, would that kill it?.
  • Do you all pay in full every month?
    That's what I have been doing but some people say leave a small balance.
    I got accepted with a ccj that was due to expire a week later and my salary is £15,200 a year so not the best.

    just got mine so £600, which is what I expected.

    tomxlisa, I'd advise you to try the eligibility checker on MSE and go with the top 90-95% chance ones. That's what I did and I got both.
  • Started at 400, then increased every 4 months to 900, 1950, 2950.

    I started with a credit limit of £200 and it increased every 4 months or so until I ended up with £3500. I then closed the account and got a prime card with 0% on purchases for so many months!
