Anyone got a MINT Card

Mar 06, 2004 8 Replies

Looked at the MINT website and if you earn for than 20k it says you can have a credit limit of 15k.



Has anyone applied who earns over 20k and not got 15k credit limit?


I had my RBS Advanta transferred to MINT. The credit limit was 300 under RBS Advanta and when my MINT arrived it was........300! I rang up and asked what chances of an increase and they said no - so I cancelled the card. Today, I applied for an egg card and got a proposed credit limit of

7K. Suppose that will go nicely with my MBNA of 13K, MSDW 6.5K, Co-Op 5.7K........I could go on!

I don't actually use any of the credit on my cards for shopping - all the balance transfers at 0% end up in my ING Direct account - since last July, I've earned well over 500 in interest from taking and saving other peoples money - except RBS Advanta/MINT of course - bastards!

Yea, they gave me 2800! I wasn't asked what I wanted anyway... tim

I had an RBS Advanta card which became Mint. I have a 10k limit. I seem to remember it was much less during the introductory 0% period- possibly 3.5k I thiink they only put it up after that. I have had it several years now and occasionally use it, but pay it off in full. I think its the only card I have that hasn't come back and offered me any special low/no rate periods or offers.

I told them I had a £40,000 income and MINT gave me a £6,600 credit limit.

I said I had the same income when I applied for a Egg card and they gave me a £15,000 limit.

I applied for one and was refused. In the same post as the letter of refusal came the usual "Hey, Mr Norris, how would you like to apply for a Mint Card" letter. Needless to say, both were sent to the shredder.

I applied and indicated I needed a 15k limit for a balance transfer. They gave me 7,400 limit.

I just tried the mint website. It is very irritating, it does not work with any tabbed IE based browsers such as MyIE2, I just get blank pages, Mozilla and Opera give a Java error. It works kind of OK with IE, but I can only close the window by killing it from the task manager. Surprisingly, it works best with K-Meleon.

I see that Mint now have online account access, but its incredibly difficult to use. Their rules for creating a password are so restrictive that none of my normal rules for memorising passwords will work, so I had to create an entirely new password which I can only remember by writing down. Its definitely the least user-friendly financial website I've ever seen.
