how high?

onthemove — Fri, 31 May 2013 02:17:27 GMT

Kind of a two part question;

1) What was the lowest credit line that you started off with and how high has it gotten?

2) What is your highest limit on just ONE credit card? (Amex or any other charge card don't count!)

Wells Fargo, started at 700 and now at 10.5k. I was a stupid kid who requested only 500-1000 for CLIs each time I was eligible for one. NO HPs though, so can't exactly complain either.

Highest 20.5k now by Citi.

My BofA started at 500$ and is now 5K for many years - but I never asked for a CLI myself. (auto CLI only) (being a Signature card now it does not make sense to ask for CLI as it will not report the CL anyhow and BofA has always authorized any charges even above the 5K limit) So I will leave it as it is.
Highest card is Citi with 17K (starting limit)

When I applied for my Chase Platinum Visa seven years ago, I was given a $500 credit line. That account has since changed over to what it is today, which is a Chase Freedom Visa Signature. The credit line today sits at $14,300. This credit line was increased by having it automatically done in several instances and I have combined limits from other Chase cards twice.

My Lowe's was opened in 2008 with a $800 limit.

Highest limit is now Lowe's at $20k. Chase cards are 2nd with limits of 15.7k and 15.1k

Got my first CC in 2002 from Capital One. My oldest account overall, it's sitting at the same CL of $2,000... just like the day I got it. A true testament to Capital One...

Currently have a United MilagePlus and Discover IT each with $8k CLs and a BofA Visa Platinum with a $4k in addition to two other CCs with lower limits which include my CapOne. Hoping to never have to open another revolving TL and let these newer cards with larger limits grow with me. We'll see.

1.) My first card was a BOFA Cash Rewards card that I got with a 700$ limit. I have yet to ask for a CLI (and I really don't intend to at this point.) so I've left it alone.

2.) Currently, my highest limit is my Chase Freedom at 2,400.
