Tesco 5.9% card

Does anyone have any experience with the Tesco Bank 5.9% APR card?
I'm considering it as my second card as the low rate is tempting to have in any situations where I need to spread the payments out as a handy backup. There's still interest of course, but it's not too far away from the typical APR charged on normal loans (and certainly substantially better compared to most other cards).
Anyone got one? What sort of initial limit were you given, and how quickly do they usually increase it if the card is used well?
Also, does anyone know of any other low rate cards which may be better?

Well I know this has been asked quite a while ago so thought I would reply today!
I have a Tesco Low APR card and when I openned it I was given a 3000 limit.
The account has been superb and I think its about 14 pound per month is if it was maxed out which to me makes it one of the best credit cards to get if you regularly carry a balance.0 -
I haven't received my card yet, but I applied at the end of last week and was given an immediate approval with a limit of £8,500.0
