Hi I have a next account and they have sent me an email saying they can increase my limit to £3750 from £600. That is a massive jump Especially when I barely reach £100.
Should I accept the increase when it's not needed.

Up to up. It's not a huge amount.
But if you think you have too much credit elsewhere, then decline it.0 -
