Which of these credit cards is the most generous with credit limits?

Out of these SBT credit cards mentioned below, which one would you say is the most generous in giving good credit limits :

- MBNA Platinum
- Mint
- Abbey
- BMI Amex
- Sonycard

Of course it differs individually but what id like is a rough idea of the credit company, which will give me the best chance of a high limit if i were to apply with them.

From your own personal experience with any of these credit card companies, how much have they offered in its limit?

    Slendiferous

    Spectacular

    Sensational

    Or plain old Super :)

    Super Balance Transfer isn't a term the credit card companies themselves use, it's a MSE and other forum expression :)
