  • If its your 4th statement today, then log into your online account, and you will be able to see straight away if they have increased it.

    They increased mine from £500 to £1500 on my 4th statement.
  • Good Morning All :hello:

    I've just received my 4th E-statement from Capital One, and I have a got a credit limit increase :j

    Credit limit now stands at £1600 :D

    I clear the balance in full every month, I never leave an outstanding balance on there to accrue any 34.9% interest lol. So it is nice to be appreciated :)

    Does anyone know when they do their next increase??

    What was your starting limit Sammy Girl? Mine was only £200..
  • thats great news.

    I have decided to give me OH my debit and credit cards so i can save some money etc. Going to open a basic account when i get home with another bank and transfer X amount every month so i can live off that and save with the other account etc.

    Going to use the credit cards for very small buys every month to to keep it ticking over tho.

    I joined cap 1 in march and after 4 statements i got a increase to £500 am not sure if there is another stage of when u get another increase tho
  • Cap 1 gave me a starting limit of £1000. Rather high I thought compared to the £250 Vanquis gave me :confused:

    When is your 4th statement due Analyst?
