I was sent a message saying i could get a credit limit increase, after applying, which was cumbersome to say the least, I was told I didn’t qualify? What was that about? Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Had the card for many years, notifications are good, the help when they call is good too. They advise me to get below a certain amount when it’s near my limit - but also tell me ‘why’ they are telling me that information. This really helps someone like me who hasn’t a clue!
