I had one for the interest freee period which has now expired so I dont use it anymore.

Take a look at www.thisismoney.co.uk to compare cards.

Depends on your credit rating I guess...

Whenever I applied for 0% credit cards, they'd give out £15k credit limits no problem.

So if you're only wanting £2k, shouldn't be a big deal.

Watch what card you apply for if you go for Capital One - some of their interest rates are very high! Their standard card is tailored to people who have an awful or non-existent credit rating.
