    I had 2 virgin cards.  They never had good BT offers for existing customer and when I opened new card I could not even transfer the credit limit.
    Its a worse card to keep once the BT has ended.

    My Virgin credit card is the card I’ve held the longest, about 4 years. I find it’s the best card I have for offering me decent balance transfer offers. Not had any credit limit increase offers though, not that I need it.

    Whst existing customers have you had from them? 
  • After reading this thread I logged into the app to see what was on offer for me;
    1 Balance transfer 0% for 12 months with a 4% fee - I have better offers.
    2 Standard rate balance transfer at 20% with a 5% fee! Which idiot would take up that offer!.
  • Yes. I currently have a 0% virgin credit card until December 2021. They've offered to increase my limit from £4500 to £7200.

    I got an email from Virgin a couple of days ago offering to increase my limit from £10,000 to £15,000 but it’s not automatic; I’d have to call to confirm I want it. I don’t, so I won’t. 

    Find it odd that they’re offering more credit at a time when some other lenders appear to be tightening up 
  •  Yup i got one. I'm still on 0% on that card. I hope to transfer another balance onto the increase virgin are giving me if they offer it.

    Someone who can't get a better deal who has higher rate APR
