Re: 1% utilization on $100k+ in limits: Nice job, all.

Over $200k in credit all new since I started here in 2017 with 540-560 FICO08s.

 

Utilization is a steady 1%.

 

2020 I want to cut down to 5-6 cards but only if their CLs are over $25,000 each.

I'm a big fan of quality over quantity, so I think that's a good goal.  ACL isn't something that's talked about too much on this forum, but I always find myself setting ACL goals moreso than individal card goals for whatever reason.

I stay under 1%, majority of time, with high limits. I also concern myself with ACL, BBS. I've been thinking of jettisoning some low limit cards for that reason, considering their growth potential is small. Couldn't agree more.

Between 3-5% on $157k, but that is primarily BT activity

 

I had 16 cards last month

added 1
