Review of the Barclaycard, Platinum credit cards:

View on product page

Barclaycard don't want prompt payers

I have had a Barclaycard for a long time and had a credit limit of £9500. I thought I might as well increase it a bit to £10,000. Within a few weeks my credit limit had been reduced to £1,100. I have a good income and pay 40% income tax. We have no mortgage or loans and my Experian credit score is 999. Could not get any sense whatsoever from Barclays. I recently tried to increase it from £1,100 to £1,200 and they turned me down! I have to wait 6 months before I can apply to increase it again!! I have kept it on just for supermarket spending as they are still giving me 2% cashback on any supermarket spend. I don't think they want big spenders who always clear the balance in full each month. I applied for an American Express Nectar card and they immediately gave me a £12,000 limit. The Nectar points are worth 1%, handy if you use Argos or Sainsbury. Reviewed on: 14th November 2025
