Increasing a barclaycard credit limit

Hi folks, my b/c has a credit limit of £2900 and want to increase this say to £5000, how easy is it to have a credit limit increased?

Just call and ask - their internal credit scoring system will help determine the outcome.

I actually did this yesterday. I have had the account since May 2003, and was asking about their 2.9% life of balance offer [etc].... Anyway it was, as jameslon says, very simple. The advisor just asked me how much I was earning - had I had the account for more than 12 months, and she raised it from 3950 to 6000 [I had asked for 5000]. Good luck!

I rang up a few weeks back and asked or a credit increase. I had a limit of £2500 and asked if it could be increased he said it should be no problem - would £7000 be ok then off he went on his computer and said I could have £11000 limit. I've had the card for a number of years though probably 6 years...

Hope that helps
