Default on CR but Barclaycard Increase Limit?

ti1980

Have no idea why my Cash APR is so high but I would never use it for taking cash out so it doesn't really matter.

how long have you had a barclaycard?

ti1980

I have had the card since Aug 2004 so its about 10 months now and I have had 2 credit increases in that time.

could you tell me how much they where and how often you had them?

You don't ask for much do you The_Rock?! Just kidding!

I got my Barclaycard in Aug 2004, the limit was £1200.
They increased it to £2000 in March 2005, so that was about 6 and a half months after I initally got the card.
I phoned them up in April 2005 and asked them to increase it to £2500.
I only asked for an extra £500 as they had just increased it a few weeks previously and I didn't want to push my luck but from the sound of the phone call at the time I could have gone a bit higher.

Hope this helps someone.
