Barclay Rewards Low Credit Limit

Sparky67

We've applied for a Barclays Rewards visa for overseas spending in October, but they've given us a stupidly low credit limit of £200. If we pay off some as we go, or preloaded a payment would we be able to spend more? For example, if we prepaid £200 would we then be authorised to spend up to £400 while we are away? We are travelling with accommodation only, so £200 isn't going to be enough for all incidentals and food.

Preloading is not allowed, but ensure that you have online banking and can use Faster Payments to pay off this card. Whenever you use the card, immediately pay off the amount using Faster Payments so that you have the full £200 available again within a couple of hours.
