I know there's a thread going around about highest limits, but they are including growth through CLIs.  I was curious what the top end is for starting limits from various issuers.

 

I know CUs are known for giving out probably the highest limits out of the gate.  Cap1 Venture is also known for high SLs.  Citi is known for low SLs.

 

So I guess I'll start.  My highest SLs...

 

Amex EDP $20,000

Chase Freedom $19,800 (though I've seen at least $25K in the approvals forum)
Cap1 QS $10,000


Great topic!

 

My highest SL ever just came last month, when I was approved for a CSP with $26K.  That came with FICOs in the high 700s.

Re: Highest STARTING limits?

CapOne gave me $30K  on their Plat No Hassle Rewards card in 2004, when they were generally known for very low limits that didn't grow.  (They are of course now known as giving high limits so in 2017 they reduced my CL to $10K)   Considering inflation, that's probably my highest in value.  In 2017, I got a $35K CSR.  High limits are common with that card.

Yeah, and if I don't get off this site, I'll never get under 5/24 to even apply for the CSR...  Smiley LOL

Re: Highest STARTING limits?

Discover was and still is my highest SL card at $10k. Also my first card to reach 5 digits, though the 61day Amex 3x has it beat now.
