What to do when your credit limit is too low? Kris reached out with the following question about managing a low credit limit:On your recent podcast, you mentioned that banks don’t like you to cycle cards. I just got approved for the new Capital One Venture Business card, and upon approval, found out that they had given me a credit limit of $2000. This obviously is going to make it very difficult to make the minimum spend for the sign-up bonus, and obviously can’t if I don’t cycle the card. I did try to call and request an increase and pointed out that I have a personal Venture X with a credit limit of $50,000 that is paid off fully every month. I asked for a credit increase and offered to decrease my Venture X credit limit, but was declined. - What is credit cycling? - Why is cycling generally inadvisable? - Is cycling ever OK?We’ve been answering a reader or listener question at the end of each Frequent Miler on the Air podcast episode.
