He is referring to a charge card, not a revolver so no persay set limit unless one was impossed as it is a NPSL card unless they change the terms for various reasons.  Utilization is high that is for sure and you should work on it, but scores in the 700s i think you would probably yield and approval on the Amex Gold Charge card being the 275 or is it 295 AF one, but they would probably be watching you like a hawk and your intiial npsl would be fairly low, but as your utilization went down and your proof to PIF on the charge card that is due monthly would increase your NPSL internal limit.  Have any other amex cards?  If so it is just a sp regardless or approval/rejection.  5 inquiries is pretty good as well, only negative going against you is utlization.  If you can get that down below  before 30% for appy great otherwise it probably could go either way with current utilization.  Before I pay said AF I would be putting that towards lowering your current utilization though and in turn saving on interest.
