Wait, not to thread jack but how do you get the 10 pt bonus swipe on Freedom? I have a freedom and have never noticed that.
I got mine in late 2013 and never had it. The rewards program has changed a lot on the card over time.

My CSP is so annoying stupid 5k limit stupid hard pull for CLI and they never increase it anyway !! Errr
.. but shamefully I really like the card ... come on Chase work with me here!!!
My boss (corporate supervisor, mid six figure salary) has a Marriat Rewards card with only a $15,000 limit, he runs on average depending on his stays per month and how many of us go to other stores, $20,000 a month he said. Last year he put a little over $300,000 on it. Crazy spending, but he has he income to support it and it's reimbursed to him and than charged to the base restaurant using the stays, or in the other cases gas. (Or plane travel) his credit is NOT good, but he swears by the Marriat...lol
to the OP
my citi DC, my best rewards card besides gas and it's stuck at $1,000 I max it nearly every month between bills that make sense to pay, gas and work expenses.
My most annoying is a CU Visa I have. It's my first and oldest card and only has a $1500 limit. (22 yrs)! I won't close it but I just put recurring charges on it. I've considered asking for a CLI but I don't want a HP so it will just stay SD.
When I look at all of you alls cards and limits that you consider annoying, I chuckle when I think of my annoying card.... My King Size Card... $150 limit.
My Citi DC card. Lowest limit of al my cards that I like. I've put recurring payments on it, all my daily spend is now on my discover.
My rebuilder USAA Classic AmEx. Aug 2015. SL 1k now 2K. Has a $35 AF, No rewards, No BT, No Cash Adv. APR 23%.
BUT...it's an AmEx that I've used at Costco and it's with USAA whom I'm attempting to show my credit use to. Hopefully they'll graduate me to a rewards card in the near future otherwise this is the only card on the chopping block in 2017. It's also my only non rewards card!

This one is easy... in my case, it's my BCP. I use the heck out of it (PIF each month) but I only have a $1k credit line.
Amex has turned down my CLI requests four times (!) now, so I've decided to just live with it the way it is. Their reason for denying the CLI is an account IIBK 16 years ago, so there's no way to 'remedy' the issue... it "is what it is". I am happy they gave me another chance, though, knowing how historically they have been very slow to forgive. I average $20 each month in rewards with the card, so I'm not going to 'pout' about the low credit line and put it in the SD... I make it 'work'.
Later in the year I might try for an ED card, and if approved after 13 months I'll move most of the limit over to the BCP, since I have very little interest in MR points.
My lowest limit card is my Sallie Mae, but I don't think it's annoying at all. In fact, I love it and it gets the most use of all my cards. My most annoying card is my Quicksilver. I hate Cap One's "if you want a limit increase, app for another card so we can triple pull you" crap.
Probably my citi hilton reserve. I can't close it for another three months without resetting the bonus. I'd like to ditch it. My most annoying card though is easily the citi prestige. It is a great card in terms of perks etc, but the design drives me up the wall with the black stripe on a dark background on the front of the card. 90% of the store clerks- restaurant employees have to be told how to swipe it. I have been using it for my restaurant spend lately, so in takeout places this issue always comes up.
