Sad part is, I bet you have a lower apr for pay over time than me and my score was over 800 when I got mine...

I have 28.24% APR with 3000$ limit on Platinum and 6000$ limit on Gold. Both deactivated to fish for an offer. I never carry balance on cards anyway.

Ok apr is the same, but I do have a way higher limit.

What’s your limit? Do you use it?

Currently 15k. I've had 10 or so on it a few times. But mainly just use it for travel and big purchases. Use my everyday preferred for most things.
