    Really I only wanted my credit card for 2 reasons :-

    1. I often travel on business so I can use my card and pay back into when I claim expenses as it can be expensive paying out from my own account regularly.

    2. To improve my credit rating, every green zero helps and this is another i can add to the list.

    I'd have been happy with a £500 limit if truth be told as I just wanted to get 'on the ladder' so to speak.

    Would there be any advantage to me running an additonal card in your opinion?

    Hi Guys,

    Need some advice please. I am remortgaging in March 2009, so don't want to have too many searches on my file. I have about 8 searches I think at the mo, mostly from May/June time.

    I want to apply for the Flybe card that you're all raving about. But I don't want to do it to the detriment of my file. What shall I do?????

    Whoo Ulster Bank bumped by limit up to £1500. Now I can transfer a bit more debt to lower the interest I'm charged.
