You can no longer increase the Visa debit card limit with Compubank. The default is $1,500 and is fixed. I spoke with compubank this morning and was told that their contract with Visa prohibits increasing the limit. They were increasing the limit in the past, but they got stock with a few stolen cards and high charges and Visa would not charge back the merchants as their contract with Visa limits them to $1,500 for fraud reimbursement.

So, looks like I will have to use other credit/debit cards for high spend items, and it is these items that help me to rack up the points. This is a real set back for compubnak and my business.

Also, if you did get a limit increase, look for a letter over the next month or two with a decrease. although the rep I spoke to was not sure if they were going to do decreases or not, they were still looking at the impact of what it may do. Now I am off to pay for a $1,950.00 ticket and if I pay via a travel agent I can split it amongst cards, but not via the net. Oh well, it will be an Amex transaction today.
