Neither of them report credit limits to credit bureaus (this ***hurts*** your score), and Amex does not reports "good behavior" (paying in time), only "bad behavior" (paying late).To find good deals on CC use www.bankrate.com, www.catdweb.com www.cardratings.com www.lowcards.com etc.Just want to add so the OP knows... AMEX charge cards and credit cards are not the same.
