[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use only our Sears MasterCard. We’ve had it for 25 years and it has never steered us wrong. No annual fee and the credit limit is very high (I think it is just over $5000 now) and the rewards are very competitive. I’m not sure it is open to new applicants. [/quote]

Do you mean $50,000? Because $5,000 is not a high limit. [/quote]

Less than 1% of the top 1% have a $50K credit limit or higher, so don’t even try to pretend that $5K isn’t high by normal standards. You’re the typical DCUM poster complaining about being broke despite having a HHI of $100K+. [/quote]

Nope, not broke. I have 4 credit cards, with a total limit of about $80k across all of them, the highest individual one being about $34,000. One I use for our every day spend. The others I keep open because of credit history. All are paid in full every month. I use YNAB for budgeting and know where every single penny goes, and because of that everything is on autopay - I don’t spend money that I don’t actually have sitting in the bank.  I have no clue what the APR is on any of them because I don’t need to know, since it doesn’t affect me. HHI is just over $200k.

Even if what you’re saying is true, that less than 1% of the top 1% have higher than a $50k credit limit, that still doesn’t make $5,000 a “very high” limit. I can’t believe that after 25 years with a credit card, the limit hasn’t been increased to a much higher amount, unless the card is always maxed out. [/quote]
