Completely agree with what you say!
Speaking of NHunter, I'm looking forward to seeing what they hold on me come May 25th!
(I know I can do it before, but I'm too tight to pay £10
)
Same for CIFAS. I don't like who they're judge, jury and executioner. This is one element where I think GDPR will be generally useful (rather than a pain in the backside) - if people are having fraud/suspected fraud etc logged against them, they need to know.
Although would they decide to exempt themselves from DSAR so they don't fall foul of the "tipping off" rules?0 -
I've got £8k with Santander, which is about 50% lower than the other card I haveOne man's folly is another man's wife. Helen Roland (1876 - 1950)0

It's quite empirically evident that MBNA and Barclaycard offer generally higher credit limits. I currently hold 3 credit account as follows:
£9800 - Barclaycard
£4800 - Santander
£6000 - MBNA
I've discussed this topic with 3 close family members and friends who are also with Barclaycard and Santander. Coincidently all 4 of us has the highest credit limit with Barclaycard and the lowest with Santander.
An honourable mention to Capital One, I don't hold an account with them but my brother does. After some research, it seems that they also offer a generous amount of credit however, I've also noticed that they do not offer the best products in terms of the period of 0% interest for balance transfer/purchase.0 -
My highest credit limit is with Barclaycard at £13,000
Then I have Sainsbury's £6,000 and Lloyds £4,500
Going to be closing the Sainsbury's card next week when I've finished paying it off at last0 -
Barclaycard gave me £18k out of the box.
Amex has grown to £17k over time and MBNA to £14k.
various others from £11k downwards
Tesco have always been the stingiest.

MBNA is being brought into LBG stable - I suspect that all the brands will use the same credit scoring soon and I would think MBNA 's limits will mirror what you would get with Lloyds Halifax or Bank of Scotland.0
