Comments

I asked after 3momths since last increase and got a message saying you've recently had an increase so we cannot offer you an increase yet. It says they can review it again after 1 month.0

I have just called barclaycard to increase my limit and they increased it from 800£ to 1200£ after 3 months and 20 days of my previous increase.
The history of the account is the following:
December 2015 - Initial Visa-400£
April 2016 - Initial Visa-800£ (Applied online for an increase and got accepted)
July 2016 - Barclaycard Freedom rewards upgrade (I tried also a credit limit increase but it was declined online & over the phone although my previous increase was more than 3 months.)
August 2016 - Barclaycard Freedom rewards-1200£ (I called them to increase to 1500£ because it would not allow me to try online as I recently changed my address and they offered me 1200£ instead!)
Also I called them at the end of May to decrease the interest rate of 30% and they gave me 0% on purchases for 12 months-not bad!
Always paid in full every month-no late payments-high usage approximately 1000£ per month
So far so good! Next scheduled increase at the end of November (At least I will try)This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
I just applied for an increase it was 3 months and 3 weeks and it was approved from £800 to £2000. Should have asked for more but didn't want to look greedy :rotfl::rotfl:0
