    Ok thanks. I entered my current balance of £4300 on the eligibility calculator, & this was factored in to the results, so the pre-approved NatWest card already stated £4300 as a minimum amount.  Would anyone recommend increasing the final balance amount entered on the eligibility calculator, to include any fee incurred when completing the transfer, being added to the starting balance? 
    You can ask for whatever you like but the credit limit you get will have no bearing at all on this as it's set by the algorithms that determine what you should get. NatWest were accurate enough when I did one but if you asked for £5000 but the system says you should get £2000 then you will only get that

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
