I am confused. Is big CL really useful? I read that lets say if you trying to get credit for property and they can give you X, but because huge CL they will subtract this CL.  

For example, you want to take 500k for house and you have 70k CL. They will give you 430k right? 


I think you are confusing available credit and DTI Smiley Happy

...no. Not at all.

 

Normally, your unused/available CL has absolutely no bearing on mortgage loan qualification.

 

Nor does the amount of outstanding debt, directly.  (The amount of your monthly minimum repayments does, though.)

 

Having 70k in unused credit card CLs will not "subtract" from the amount a lender is willing to extend you.  (Nor will 250k, etc...)

 

Certain portfolio lenders or Credit Unions may have their own oddball rules about total exposure, but that's not a "standard" thing.  Having more available card CL than the amount of a mortgage is not all that uncommon (at least around here...)

Re: I love Bank Of America

The story just doesn't connect. If you have that kind of income, why the bank gave you $500 or $5,000 starting CL? I know each time I applied CCs with BA and with $100,000 income, BA gave me $21,000 CL automatically. 

 

Also, it seems this was your only CC and you had to pay back a couple times a month. Why? Many of us here hold 10 or 20 credit cards. 

 

And last, with that kind of income, you can get CCs with open CL. No need to get HPs every couple of months. You can rest and spend your CC, instead of beating the little BA rep so hard. 

 

Just puzzling. But enjoy.

Another thread he stated an income of $35K when applying for a different card 3 years ago, the same time he applied for this BOA card. He was also a full time student at the time, working full time.  If he went from $35K to $690K in 3 years, well played.

Re: I love Bank Of America

Good story. So you grow your CL over like 20 or 30 years? 

 

When you were 19, you couldn't put $350,000 as your income, since that was almost all from your parents. 

 

Now, why don't you get a card without credit line? I don't think any of the BA cards are good for international travel. Get AmEx Platinum, or something higher still. Just don't understand your points here.
