My experian report is saying a factor that is lowering my score
is not having a credit card with a high limit. Can anyone tell me
what is the minimum amount to be considered a high limit card?
Is it $1000.00 and above?

That comment isn't related to FICO scoring thankfully. Sounds like it came from a service or CMS that uses an EX FAKO. Ignore the score and advice.
When I first started here, I also thought that high CLs = high scores. I made the correlation because most everyone with a high CL had a high score. One day a poster came along and posted that she had FICOs above 810 for all 3 (this was before EX blocked consumer access to their FICO) but her total CLs for ALL of her CCs were at $1000. She had like 3 CCs and one was $200, one at $300 and one at $400 or something similar to that. That's all she wanted and didn't want any CLIs. Now along with that came 30+ yrs of reported history. But her example taught me that CLs don't matter but it's how you use them that makes the difference.
Hes right. High CL dont really effect FICO like other FAKO scores and such. CL really only plays a role when it comes to utilization. I learned a lot from this fourm and it vast knowledge from all of its members. I learned Credit is about history, length, good payments, and Age of accounts. BK & CO are really bad even if paid. Its always good to pay your debts but even if your CO's are paid its still a CO and hurts your chances of getting credit and score.
5k+ is considered to be in somewhat prime range.
I always figured $20K(+) is considered high range.
Well then I'm in excellent position because all of my CL's are over twenty dollars. LOL
Mine too!
$5000 and above are consider a HL card.
To be honest to all really comes down to personal opinion.
For me anything above $3000 is sufficient enough for me.
