Utilization question-Amex

If I get a $15k starting limit but I only use 10% of the credit available, will the creditor (amex) reduce my CL eventually?

They will not reduce the limit if you only use 10%.

 

From what I read, they can CLD if they see something in your reports that is considered a risk.

Thanks for the response newhis. I was instantly approved for BCE with starting CL of 15k but I know I probably won't EVER come close to using a third. I also want to stay in good grace with Amex. Smiley Happy
