    I've had £17k from Capital One, unfortunately had to close it because they wouldn't give me a repeat.

    The American Express Centurion Card is limitless!

    Unfortunately, you have to spend over £100k per year on a standard AMEX Charge Card and pay nearly £1k per year to get one - Even then you have to be invited.

    If you've got a high income and don't mind hefty fees, there are a few No Limit Cards - I heard of one woman who ran up over £500k in one night's Internet gambling on one!

    Sorry if I'm being daft - But what do you mean they wouldn't give you a repeat?

    Basically I had a 0% promotional rate, so maxed the card out.

    After the promotional rate expired I asked them if they could provide a "repeat" deal. However they declined. Having a 17K limit unused could have made it difficult for me to get a large credit limit with another provider (and at the same time get another 0% promotional rate) so I decided to close it and free up that 17K on my credit report to hopefully make use somewhere else.

    £1000 on HSBC, prior to that £250 on Aqua and Vanquis.

    I might as well have left this post blank and just pointed to my signature... ;)

    Had a Virgin Card at £25k at the same time as a Cap One of £17k

    All gone now I am glad to say. Now I am just skint but not paying a fortune in interest.
