I have an Aqua card starting balance £1000. Sent me a letter 1st to call them before releasing a card.
Capital one, starting balance £200 (took a month to comes)
Had them for about 4 months now, but no credit increases.
Vanquis have not got back to me from 3 months ago!
Halifax have given me a £2000 overdraft, as my wages have been paid in for over a year.
Hi Jay and welcome to the board. If you've ran the Cap One card well and within the terms then they should be giving you an increase right about now. I found out about mine online, but they also send confirmation in the post.
I'm afraid I don't know about Aqua though

nah not refund
basically money paid to a card, but its the same as i spent
it payin the balance, does that mean i've made the payment for the month?
