That is if you don't mind sharing it. I'm just trying to get a gauge of how regular mine is. I have 3 credit cards; £750, £1500 and £300 limits respectively. Overdraft allowance of about £3k.

Queef I've been OK with Barclaycard, the limit on that one is a shade under £6k. We put all our spending on it and get maybe £100 a year in cashback.

It's Halifax I struggle with, they won't let me go past £1000 and they keep putting it down to £500, but I can't complain really - I make far more money out of the banks than they do from me.

Queef why refuse? Wouldn't it be better to have and not use than an out and out refusal? I perhaps naively think that since the 2008/09 crash they became a bit more responsible wrt quotes - prior to that I did once have a quote for 18k and I had to read the letter a few times with a very contorted face to ascertain it. I must add I did have visions of me sitting on a cruise-liner in a bikini whilst sipping cocktails. Didn't fancy a stark crash back to reality once back home in rainy England whilst pondering my new debt!

£1k overdraft and £10k limit on one CC, which they seem obsessed with increasing to the point where I called to say please stop increasing it.

And Halifax love me Babs I use their card for overseas spends and they bump it up every year.

I worked out Vlad the most I would ever need in emergency, FoF, I could comfortably do owt for £50k.
The rest would be greedy Grin

No overdraft, my cc has no preset spending limit (and is paid off in full after every use - I use it for the protection it affords on large purchases).
