Just magic’d up £6,500

I recently told you about my lovely credit card company who offered me:

 

0% on all purchases till August 2010.

 

I have activated my card now and I had to go online to get the PIN.  I did this but then there was this curious menu button that caught my eye…..

 

Credit Limit Increase

 

Hmmm.  I like the sound of that!  So I innocently clicked on it expecting to see this massive form asking for this, that and everything else!  However quite the opposite.

 

The first question got me salivating:

 

What would you like your new credit limit to be?

 

That’s like asking a kid how many sweets do you want.

 

Now my credit limit is £13,500 so I thought I would pitch it just below cheeky.  So I put in:

 

£20,000.

 

Then there were 5 more really basic and boring questions like occupation, income etc.  And then they said they might call you to get further info.

 

I got that call the very next day.  I only did the application at around midnight and they are calling me within 12 hours! NICE.

 

So they asked me what I did, what I wanted the money for and the guy got in to a bit of a chit chat about how the recession may have helped landlords.  Then at the end of the conversation he said:

 

“Right your limit has increased to £20,000”

 

I said is that it?  And he said yes, your limit will be activated to go up to £20,000 and it should show in your online account within 24 hours.  Well actually it is showing now after 3 hours my brand new credit limit of £20,000.

 

So what does £20,000 mean to you?  Does it mean 2, 3 or even 4 properties?  I hope so.

 

Is the credit crunch starting to melt?  It seems like it.  I wish I had asked for £25,000 now.  I think I will pencil that in to do next month!
