Concorduser, as you may already know from previous posts, my Blue started at $1K and doesn't look likely to budge any time soon.

Thanks,
Lynette, the AE charge cards are the Green, Gold and Platinum ones (well, and the fabled Black Centurion card, too, for the ultra-rich), which one is supposed to pay in full each month (sometimes the option to pay over time is offered, but generally speaking, one has to PIF each month).
The AE credit cards are the revolving-balance type on which you can pay over time, if you wish - the Blue/Blue Sky, hotel-affiliated cards, the Costco card, etc.
Hope this helps.
in college it was a couple thousand... then i closed it. I have a corporate card now, but that cl is not really a factor in your question. Usually the charge cards have much higher limits than credit cards across the board. My mother, however, has had a amex since late 70's and her charge card limit is just under 100k, credit card is around 10k. I think when it comes to credit cards, history with them goes a long way, at least- sometimes that is...
