Shit, they never stop increasing mine. And my Amex does not have a limit so I have no idea how much I could charge on there.Comment

75K-100K is considered high.
credit is relatively easy to get due to all the competition. you wouldn't believe how many kids aged 18-21 have a 10-20K limit nowadays.

Ask the minimum payment on a $150k balance, and what bank?
I'm looking for a good credit card... every fucking one I have now blocks the card as soon as I make an online purchase, so when I try to use it in a store its almost always declined until I call in.Last edited by detoxed; 10-27-2004, 01:49 PM.Comment

just keep this in mind when you're applying for credit elsewhere: a $150K credit card is seen by creditors as a $150K debt, even if your balance is $0.
that may not affect you, but it affects all the people who've got 4-5 unused credit cards in their wallet.
"But CIBC just gave me $15K and BMO just gave me $12K. Why can't you raise my limit to $10K?" is a question I heard on a near-daily basis.

Wait... how the fuck is it considered debt? I've never heard of that. Is it only for high amounts? What amount does that start at? A $150k CC with $0 balance is using 0% of available credit. (for you non-math majors)Comment

My highest is $4K, with a 5% interest rate. I don't use my credit card ever though. I always pay cash. The only thing going on my credit card right now is monthly bills (cell, internet, cable, phone, etc) which subsequently get paid off.Originally posted by detoxed
My highest is $7500... then $5600, then $4500. $0 balances though.
The min. payment on a card here in Canada is typically 3-5%. So on a $150K balance, we're talking $4500-$7500. Interest rate is probably 17-19% with 21 grace days though.

It's considered debt because you have an open line that you could go out and run up, possibly jeopardizing their ability to collect payment from you when needed.Originally posted by detoxed

creditors consider your limit because technically if you got addicted to crack and ran them up you could hang yourself with every penny
thats why its usually good to have only one or two moderate limit cards with less than half balanceComment

it's like that for any amount.Originally posted by detoxed
Wait... how the fuck is it considered debt? I've never heard of that. Is it only for high amounts? What amount does that start at? A $150k CC with $0 balance is using 0% of available credit. (for you non-math majors)
a card with a $0 balance can easily have a $20K balance in minutes.
when you apply for credit somewhere, they look at your total debt ratio. say you've got $25K worth of credit, but a $0 balance. if i, as a creditor, base your total debt ratio around your $0 balance, i could easily approve you for credit and give you say another $10K.
but who's the say that the second i approve you, you're not gonna go out and load up all your cards, putting yourself in a position where you can't pay back the credit i extended to you?
a $10K credit card is seen as a $10K debt, however, when you do a total debt ratio, only the minimum payment on a $10K debt is taken into consideration.
for example, when i'm doing a TDR, i calculate 5% of all your available credit. i add your monthly mortgage/rent, car and loan payments to that. if your monthly income is higher than that, i can extend you credit (providing you've got good history, stable job, etc).

your credit limits don't play into your credit score. it's vice versa. your credit limits are going up because your score went up.Originally posted by detoxed
No, thats not what I'm asking. Every time my credit card limit has raised, my credit score has gone up. With $0 balances. So what he is saying doesnt make sense.
the limits are only taken into consideration when doing a TDR and manually extending you credit.
MaskedMan, you can easily get that fixed. Future Shop have the legal obligation to do so. Order a copy of your report from Equifax, get a proof of your payment in full, and get Future Shop to amend your credit file accordingly.
SmutPeddler, I'm aware.
For those that don't know, I worked for Visa for a few years, extending credit to tons of people. I'm not pulling this shit out of my ass or basing it on an article I read somewhere. I'm speaking from experience as a trained creditor.

quiet, i honestly couldn't give you advice in that field. i rarely worked with customers such as yourself. the highest limit i ever personally handled was $200K.
logic dictates that so long as you have the income available to pay back what you take, then there shouldn't be a problem.
but i'm not a financial advisor

Everytime you ask for a raise on your limit they run a credit report on you. Everytime they run a credit report on you it counts as a "hit" on your overall credit and the more hits you have the worse it looks.Originally posted by quiet

detoxed, i'm not going to tell you any different than i already have. if you think your credit score goes up everytime your limit goes up, and not vice versa, you're wrong.Originally posted by detoxed

I check my credit report and score several times per month and know exactly what changes in between each time.
i worked with credit files on a daily basis up until 2 months ago. my closest friend worked several years at equifax and now works for visa. if the whole credit granting/scoring process changed in the last two months, he'd have told me.
if you doubt my abilities or qualifications, feel free to discuss the issue with your creditors, equifax and your financial advisor.
datinggold, checking your own credit file doesn't reduce the score. creditors checking it reduces the score, however it's negligible (generally 2-4 points per inquiry).
not only does each inquiry from a creditor lowers your score, the inquiry stays on your file for two years. if you've got tons of inquiries, especially relatively close together (for example, 6 in 1 month), you'll get labelled as a credit seeker. creditors will want to know why you keep applying for credit. questions as to the legitimacy of your claims on job, rent, repayment abilities, etc will come into play.

quiet,
If you pay down your card a few times a mnth you are honestly better off asking Amex for a black or high limit platinum charge card. These are different from Credit cards.
Like people said before having a $150k limit on a credit card can be good or bad.
A charge card will work better for your situation.
