Not that I would ever use it, but I was just wondering what % of your credit limit can you take out as cash?
Here are a few key DPs' from my cards
Discover $5000 Limit, $50 cash advance limit
Regions $5500 Limit ,$1650 Cash advance limit (30%)
New Synovus card Limit $20000.00, $10,000 Cash advance limit (50%)
I thought this was pretty crazy 50% of my credit limit can be taken out as a cash advance.
NFCU alone lets me take $3810 on one card and $1200 on the other (30%)
SSFCU lets me take 100% ($5K)
DCU lets me take 100% ($1K)
Thats 10.6% of my TCL with just my CU cards.
I haven't checked the others because they all would cost me a fortune to do and the banks would likely close my cards where the CUs actually encourage use of the feature.

Mine was a whopping $50 too.($3k cl) Dh's $800 ($6.5k cl) So I called them up one day and asked if I was only good for $50 and why. lol! CSR was like, what do you want more for? I said I was curious if that's how Disco views me......ya know, $50. After the CSR put me on hold she then transferred me to another rep to see why $50. Then the rep said go to Walmart and pull out $120 (?) on a daily basis. I was like why? I don't need it I just wanted to know if that was normal. Is that what the Algorithm thinks I'm good for? Never got an official answer but I got a butt load of offers....I closed it right then and there. I didn't want the card any longer, (starter card) and it was annoying being rejected so much by that luv button. So I figured I better close it before they close it and mark it as "excessive luv button abuse" ...just kidding, curiosity killed the cat. All my others cards are higher ca limits (1.5 to 2.1k) so that makes me feel a little better; in an odd way.
In looking at my cards 20% seems the norm for cash. However, like many things in credit, income, dti, performance and so on likely will have some effect on the cash limit. My guess on account opening it is YMMV? A person's profile? In a more detailed review of cash limits, a few of my cards allow virtually the entire limit in cash. Surprised and Chase was one of them.

You know Georgia Peach, why $50 cash limit? Sure seems a low and unusual amount? My 2 cents worth? So you don't feel alone, Citi Bank has one of my card's cash limit set at $180 and told me if I didn't like it to close the account as they would not budge (great customer relations).

I think Disco was trying in a polite way to say, "Nope you not worth more than $50 and you're lucky you got that, we just can't go no lower."
OP I'm not saying that's the truth for anyone....it's just my version, my take in a joking kinda way. Hit the luv button with patience, enjoy a good card and who knows, maybe the ca limit will rise over time. Not that it really matters at all, I guess
I think this one varies from lender to lender AND profile to profile.
As mentioned, NFCU will allow 30% of your credit line to be used as cash advance.
For DW and I, that's nearly $37k in cash advance available.
No, I don't intend to ever use it, but it's nice to know that I could.
