Reporting bonuses as income when applying for Cards?

I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to whether or not to include my annual discretionary bonus in income when applying to credit cards. I know that people ordinarily just report their base salary, but my bonus typically makes up a large percentage (50%+) of my annual compensation. Although I don't have anything in writing, the general range of my bonus has been communicated verbally and I was wondering if it would be OK to use the lower end of that?

Yes, it's fine.
