Wow, congrats! Breaking 200k. I'm impressed.
And here I am debating whether to break 5k by bumping my $500 limit card to $1k. If it ain't broke don't fix it I suppose. 
And @AverageJoesCredit at 256k? Wow. I remember when your limits were close to mine. I guess I decided to just loiter at the starting line instead of joining the race.

eBay: $6,800 --> $10,000
Amazon: $9,000 --> $10,000
PayPal Credit: $6,800 --> $10,000
That's a total of $7,400 in more credit. Brings me to $204,000 in TCL's. I broke the $200k milestone, and on my way $250k. Talk about a wild ride that last 3 years have been.
$26,300 in 6 days. Insane!

I will send a Congratulations in a few moments... right now I still can not believe what I read...
I know. I still can't believe it myself. From $0 credit to $204,000 in 35 months. Now to make sure I do something to pay off the just under $21k I owe so I don't lost all my credit again.

For me, having this much credit isn't because I want to spend that much and run up that much debt. In fact, spending that much isn't even a temptation at this point. It's seeing how far I can go, what my ceiling is.
Back in 2009, I lost $60k in credit because I couldn't afford to pay my bills because the economy went under. Part of it was because I was owed almost $10k by someone else, and they never paid me back. The other part was my uncontrollable spending. Then work stopped, and everything crumbled.

Mine are intact but I am not gonna ask for any increases , not sure if that triggered it or just a coincidence , but I am not rolling the dice .
My cap is $40k because I have 4 Sync accounts. I don't see me going after any other Sync cards for the time being. My next targets are Amex, BofA, and Chase, so gardening is essential now.

I don't trust myself to control my spending so I keep my limits low on purpose. Plus, why have it if I can't use it?
The upside is I PIF every month and haven't paid a dime in CC interest in years. I use my cards for everything I can so I can earn cash back. So my approach does work, for me anyway. I just have to watch from the sidelines as people's TCLs break 100k, 200k, and higher.

I don't trust myself either, but I'm learning a hard lesson because I'm an impulse buyer. Always have been. But I'm learning, and have now stopped the impulse spend.
Not bad, grats on them all though I would stop and let all this age for awhile
