You shouldn't use the cash advance line anyways.

Exactly Dustink!!! I think my Amex cash adv apr is like 25.24%!!?! + some crazy random fee.

I hate cash advances!! Lol a lot of times creditors forget to increase the cash lines with a cli, you might have to call them to remind them. My amex cash line is equal to 20% of my overall limit.

Yeah I just figure it should go up with the credit too.. I was at 500 limit raised to 1,000 the other day. Cash has remained at 200... I guess I should be happy with that.

For me; US Bank cards are 25% of the limit, Chase 50%, Amex 20%, Crap1 33%.

AMEX is the last lender you want to takeout cash advances with. Even though the option is there, I'd rather take CA out from Citi than AMEX.

AMEX offers limits that low? I thought for sure since all their revolvers are "prime" that the limits would be well over $1k at the very least.
