Will they decrease my CL?

So I have a bunch of cards (on my sig) with good limits on them. I tend to spread my purchases between the cards to get about 8% on a few of them every month and always PIF. Since I don't charge anywhere near my limits, will any company decrease my limits because I don't spend that much?

Re: Will they decrease my CL?

Completely subjective.

They could. They might not.

 

I've had a CL of $15,900 and have never had a balance past $10K on it. It's never been decreased. Yet.

It could happen tomorrow, it might never happen.

Most won't from lack of use to limit.  In fact, many would actually like you more.  One exception is GE seems to like use, but I doubt they will reduce CL.

Ok, was just wondering if I had to once in a while spend a little more so they wouldn't decrease it hehe.
