One example:

I have a marbles card and tesco credit card.
I alternate them every month and only use them for our weekly food shop and fuel and pay them off in full every month.
I only took my Tesco Card out in February and they have just increased my limit from £250 to £600.
I have had my marbles card for about 9 months and now have a £1500 limit.0
