I closed a $30K Citi card in the early 2000s (and son, that was real money then, you could buy a house for that.  Well, in certain places)

And Amex helpfully closed a $50K card

Re: What is the biggest limit you have closed?

Last fall Synchrony apparently had to make quarterly numbers so they simultaneously canned $74k across four tradelines, including a $35k Lowe's that had been open a whopping five days. I've only closed two cards myself--Amex Amazon Biz and Chase Disney Visa--but reallocated as much as possible beforehand.

Barclays "Luxury Card"...50k....what a joke of a card for that annual fee.  Too many better options out there.

 

P.S.  The largest transaction I could do at a time was 10k....the CSR said to do multiple transactions...WTH ....

FICO 8: TU:837 / EQ:837 / EX:840 as of 1/1/2025

"WTH"... 🤣 😂 

this is exactly what I was thinking. 

 

 

A Chase card with a $9.6K limit... this was before I discovered they may allow a transfer of a portions of one's credit limits from one card to another.     🤷 😅
