It's really hard to say if reducing your exposure to 31k will reduce your AA risks, it couldn't hurt though and it's probably the wise thing to do. Just a few minutes ago I saw in the approval section people getting massive CLI's on synchrony accounts by calling a foreign CSR number, I just don't get it, especially with synch so paranoid lately.

I personally would not rock any boats. Use your cards like normal but just be aware that things like requesting cli may bring more attention to your accounts,etc. Not saying this is the case or will bring bad things upon you, its just i believe one should act normal with their credit cards . If they do send you a blue envelope, then you can decide whether its worth it or not. I myself am going to keep using my cards like normal but am going to refrain from seeking anymore credit line increases until i can get my profile stronger
If i ever fall into the too much exposure gotta give tax info category i will give em a thanks for knowing ya wave before the door shuts in their face.

@discover2016, when i hear talk of the foreign Csr number i sometimes get confused. That number is the only number ive ever called when i called to request cli. Never called one with Americsn Csr unless it was for Pep Boys but thats not really credit solutions
I just look at it if you have a set limit already, well the damage so to speak is already done. No use in drawing more attention to your accounts. There was a recent post where one poster actually started closing accounts or decreasing his/her exposure and then they hit them with a 4506 t request so you never know. It is indeed troublesome though.

She looks like bacon at this point.

+1000I don't have any sync cards, but a recurring theme I have witnessed with Sync since becoming a member of this forum is: 1) lots of quick approvals on multiple cards, 2) lots of quick cli and 3) lots of AA (accounts closed without notice).
While we don't know what the exact trigger point is, there is a trigger.
Becareful.

In a few cases, the only thing that seemed to be 'notable' was that an AU had been recently added. 
In any case, I don't plan to 'reach out' to them for any reason, and I'm talking CLI, AU, and even CLD... I'm simply leaving things alone.
I could still be impacted (like any of us could be) but since there's nothing that can be done at this point I'm not going to worry over it.

+1. Best to let sleeping dogs lie at this point.
I'm not even changing my account alerts and not changing my payment dates at this point, and I wouldn't change e-mail or other information. Not drawing attention to anything. None of us can say for certain if it would cause attention to account, but I'm not playing.
