[Christina_xyt]

Just wanted to get some opinions from folks here..

I am sure that this question is kinda pointless since different profiles will require different limit to be considered nice.. maybe i just particularly wanted to know with my profile.. lol 

Maybe you folks can share some opinions?

The record so far for lowest SL Freedom is $200 from my reading. So $5,000 isn't so common.

Yes. I nearly fell off my chair when I read that. I always thought $500 was the minimum.

My starting limit for my first AMEX card was $4,000. was my highest limit at the time too. Freedom had $2,500 at the time which was my highest before applying.

And even with the CLI I got last week from Chase (with 4 years of credit history with them... and credit history in general) it still isn't at what you thought was the minimum. 

Anyway OP, my first Amex (SPG) had an SL of $10,000, which was seemed very generous. Approved for it back in September. However, I applied to the EveryDay yesterday and was approved for $4,000. I dunno how their metrics work exactly. Just found it strange. Does it vary by card?

Amex BCE started at $2000 in 2010, Everyday started at $12200 in 2014.

I kinda believe that it varies by cards.. credit cards are a bit more difficult to get approved than charge cards as far as I heard from this forum.. So i assuming maybe it has something to do with the credit line...?
