Amex is out of this world (SimplyCash Plus)

It boggles my mind how much credit Amex is whiling to extend to me, the card has a $50K limit but I often get approved for $150K spending!

If you put 150k on the card you would be at over 100 percent total utilization. Probably destroy your FICO score. Plus your AMEX minimum payment would be 100k.
