What's your credit limit . . . AMEX NPSL

AMEX's NPSL is not entirely accurate, this implies "sky's the limit" whereas there is a specific amount above which you will not be authorized for.

At the AMEX website you can check your spending limit, and you can enter two spending limits every 24 hours to see if you will be authorized at those limits, otherwise you'd have to call in and ask the Reps to check for you.

I checked mine and anything above $89,000 the card will not be approved for for purchases. Yes I know I will not be using more than $89,000 at one time or even in a short period and I can always pay down the balance to have more available credit, but the point is . . . NPSL statement is not true. There is a limit!

You are forgetting the "P"! It's not preset. The claim is that your spending ability changes on current circumstances and can go up or down from day to day

Yeah, it is fairly well outlined in your card terms.

"No Pre-Set Spending Limit
No pre-set spending limit does not mean unlimited spending. Purchasing power adjusts with your use of the Card, your payment history, credit record and financial resources known to us, and other factors."

The only hard limit I know that I have on my PRG is the letter they sent me for my pay over time feature. That is set at $35,000.

Same. I only did it for the bonus MR points - I don't actually use it. If I charge a high dollar amount, I typically call Amex and let them know I plan on running that amount through. When I bought my car, I put my downpayment, $5k which was the max the dealer would take on a CC. Prior to them running it though, I just called and let them know.

Isn't that the default amount for everyone?

Does anyone know if you put that much down on most CC is it considered a Cash advance or regular purchase.

1. This is kinda general knowledge here

2. You're at risk for FR when you play with that button! Be careful
