What's your credit card limit biz? Mine is 10k

$700

I have no credit card limit

whats a good card to start building credit, or does it not matter because they all suck because when you have no credit history?

They're geniuses actually if they don't spend more than they can afford

Christ, how awful. Ten years ago I had $50k on just a single BoA card.

Go get the limits up on all of those. You need to get back to at least a million unsecured before it's worth maxing them all out on Bitcoins and leaving the country.

Fuckin Americans lol

Might not even be eligible for credit

Apply for a Secured card instead, after 6 months they will bump you to $1000 limit.

Don't need one I'm not a poorfag and always have cash

$1000 - 1 card

20 y/o, credit since 2014 December

Never asked to up my limit lel, haven't been asked to either lmao

$0.

I have made poor life choices.

I only started making really poor life choices after I turned 18, like, I'm a late bloomer for everything, I even late bloomed fucking up as a teenager when it was okay to fuck up

Just fuck my shit up senpai.

$1k
i could have asked for more but i don't need it.

15k on my Amex

Just enough that I can make a large purchase without fucking up my credit score too much.

Maybe £10k, I never spend more than £1k in a single month so I don't know why they keep increasing it.

I don't have a spending limit. (AMEX)

I assume he's referring to credit card churning, which can be interesting.

chase has dope rewards, $1500 if you get a Sapphire Reserve followed by Sapphire Preferred and spend 4k on each, then pay it in full. that 1500 is worth 1875 if you spend it through their portal too

$2,000 with BoA. Annoyingly low.

>Be yurofag
>See this thread

What am I reading?

$8k
$3k
$2k

Generally put $1k on the first card and hunnerd or so on the others. Don't really need more credit line, so eh.

Don't credit cards cancel automatically without use? Also how would the limit automatically go up without usage and/or updated income data...

4k is my limit

Why do eurofags keep coming in here and acting smug because they dont have a CC. Do Europeans really not know how to use a credit card?

at least 3 of my cards are each 20k. The rest is around 5k each. What's the big deal?

yeah europeans dont understand debt as a tool, then wonder why gdp growth sucks LMAO

$500

Kek right?

I bet some company is mining this data rn

Total $20,000 USD. Spread across 4 cards. I'm 22

$700, had to get a secured card because lolimmigrant
I'm seriously considering getting the Amazon credit card tho

I got my credit card 4 years ago as a neet. Im still a neet but they keep offering to increase my limit every year for some reason.

I started at 500 dollars and im at 20k now. I dont really understand how any of this works.

Well I'm 20 and I only just got the card, so it's not bad I'd say.

My uncle had one of those unlimited AMEX Golds.

$4050 limit on Capital One card. It's my first actual CC and I got it last march. Initial limit was $3000.

$3000 limit on Kohls card shared with my mom that I was somehow put on 18 years ago. I am 25 now, so this was awesome for my credit.

Why so many?

I'm Australian. Where are you from?

So do I, but I got a credit card to get Airpoints. If I pay it in full every month then I gain the Airpoints for nothing. Minus the $150 annual fee of course.

To entice you to spend more.

Nice.

Sorry you'll never know what it feels like to charge something to your American Express.

My mum's first card limit was $500, but she was 18 and that was in the 80s. Get it updated my man.

Is it co-signed with your parents or something? No way they'd give you a 20k limit with no job.

>Is it co-signed with your parents or something? No way they'd give you a 20k limit with no job.

No its not co-signed. I had 30k in the bank when I applied though and have paid it off in full every month since ive had it so im sure that helped.

I only use it a 20-30 times a year though which is why im surprised they keep giving me increases.

Fuck B of A.

My first Credit Card was with B of A at age 18 (student account) It has been a nightmare dealing with them over the years.

It's damn near 15 years later and I have a job paying me $95,000 a year on average. I have numerous other cards including an AMEX card that is less than 2 years old with a limit of $30,000 already.

I call and ask B of A if I can get a limit raise from the measly $5000 it has climbed to from $1000 originally.

They ask a few questions, say I am approved and will get a letter in the mail with details.

2 weeks later I get a letter stating $500 dollar increase for a total of $5500 limit. I also get a credit score update that shows a hard hit on my credit which drops my 780 score down to around 750.

Fucking BofA is shit tier. If it wasn't for the age of the card, I would fucking literally shit on it and burn it and tell them to fuck off.

I don't have a credit card.

I have a mortgage and a car loan though.

I've got three cards from Chase with limits of $6000, $10000, and $15000. Plus my Amazon Store Card with a limit of $4000. I really don't need all this since I put less than $2000 per month on all my cards. But, it's nice to know it's there.

I have a credit card from 2005 with 2k balance that I've never paid. Being in the military they've never found me. Should I be a good goyand pay it?

22 yr old

>$1900 Wells Fargo student card (1st card)
>$3500 Chase Slate (applied when it was the only card that offered a free credit score, barely use it so never cared for points. Now every card offers free score checks with points
>$10,000 on my AMEX cash blue everyday rewards card. Lied about how much I made and they gave me $7500 starting, 2 months later bumped me up.

I keep my credit utilization rather low, only about $2500 in CC debt which isn't much.

Your credit score is shit then

2005 was 12 years ago. Would it even appear on your credit report? When I was 18 I had a department store card I was delinquent on. Several years later it doesn't show on my credit report at all.

>live in Germany
>no credit cards allowed

When you get into 20 bucks of debt you enter some registry and theres almost no way for you to ever buy something again online or get a credit anywhere

19yr $5,000

that's not even remotely true
also, there are pre-paid credit cards for people that don't pay their fucking debts like you

Why you keeping it then? Why not just use AMEX?

What?

What's the point of a prepaid credit card? Why not just use a debit card?

many european country has totally different credit system than the us. for example the credit scores don't exist here. that means if you have a credit card you only expose yourself to the risk of rolling balance with no long term benefit of lower interest rates whatsoever.

it usually makes little sense to have a cc unless for the rewards. but in rewards there is no real big competition so they also tend to suck.

Exactly

1400€ on the one cc I have. It's more than enough for my usual spending but I've been meaning to increase it so I don't have to worry about the limit when traveling but haven't gotten to that yet.

Except credit cards usually offer some benefits and safety when you buy shit using them. There are literally no negatives as long as you don't roll the balance.

Discover is a pretty decent company. I applied when I turned 18 and got approved.

>Except credit cards usually offer some benefits and safety when you buy shit using them.
the safety stuff is really the least concern 99% of the time. debit cards have almost as good safety features as ccs.
the rewards are the sole reason to use cc in my opinion. but the cost of the card and the risk using a cc and accidentally rolling a balance probably more than negates them for the average user.

banks push ccs because it's good business for them, not you. only 10% of cc holders play it perfectly an even less is able to reap any real benefits.

I got a 12k limit with AMEX with no job, but I get a military grant every month.

24k on my Sapphire Reserve, between the other random ones I've got it's probably about 40k total

How do you "accidentally" roll your balance? Besides at least for me, and plenty of people I know, the minimum payment is my credit limit so I can't roll any balance even if I wanted to.

Probably similar? I got like 10 cards for credit building. 4 or 5 are department store and unsecured cards I got when my credit was 400 and I was stupid.

Pushing 800 atm.

You noobies and NEETS seriously need to pay your debts and keep an eye on shit or u will be 30 years old unable to afford a home like me.

Just doing a little credit maintenance will save you thousands of dollars that you traded for you life if u work.

50? Holy fuck. Why?

Build credit better somehow?

Investing?

I used secured cards cause my credit was shit.

Stay away from department store cards.

Any name brand like visa, Mastercard, discover works.

Google how to properly use them and get a few.

Your credit will go to the moon and anything you want to buy will have u getting your dick sucked by the salesman. Mutherfuckers start humpinggetting air when they see a 800 credit score.

I know because I was 1.

Get a few more cards. Every few months ask them to up your limit and if there interest to lower it. Worst they do is say no. But u could get an increase and theven bigger the better when making a major purchase. Even a bank loan.

Me too user. It's never too late

Interest free until you are rich af. Yeah, why the fuck not if it's legal. And I'm pretty sure it is if u arent fraud ingredients anyone

....and I'm signing up for chase now

In america you are either broke or use our cucked system of credit.

It's how uncle Sam keeps his thumb on the working man. Kinda like u guys and your 60% taxes or whatever.

School loans from the government are the biggest scam in america.

Take advantage of kids with unlimited Capitol in your vault and loan at low af interest.

Kid pays dealt for decades then.

Double edged blade user. I been on both sides.

>what was your name?

Get to studying. Very little work for large potential in savings when u buy a house or car or something

Dude. Get credit cards and learn to use them properly. I bet you can refinance your car into your house and pay half in fucking payments...

If u paid it off they may have removed it.

Teaches reposibility and opens door for you to unlucky yourself with a real card latter

Can someone explain for non-US why would you want/need to have +10k limit on your credit card.

>How do you "accidentally" roll your balance?
i don't but many somehow do.

more like "leverage woks both ways"

Better credit score allows you to borrow more money

>>live in Germany
>>no credit cards allowed

Nicht übertreiben.

If I close the account my score will take a hit. Age and number of accounts. I plan on buying house number 2 in the future and getting that score back up to 800. Gotta play their game.

Doesn't matter who responsible you are, how fucking much money you have, it is about that game and algorithms that promote consumerism.

lmao

once you are in the system you are FUCKED in Germany

My car is 0.0% APR, and my home loan is an FHA loan at 3.25%.

I can't really beat that. I just don't have a need for a fabulous credit score, it's currently sitting at 670 without any blemishes on file. It goes up a point every month, and I have enough in the bank/brokerage account to ride anything out.

$1k. They always offer more but I decline. I only really use it for paying automatic subscriptions like Netflix Xbox live etc.

Never refuse a credit increase if its pre-approved. All it does it help build your credit.
