Increased credit limit is good for you. I just read somewhere that there's some calculation where some percentage is based on the total money you owe divided by your credit limit. The higher the limit, the lower the percentage, which is good. Besides, it shows that the bank trusts you more.
yep, you are right. most importantly is to judge how much is your spending, which they will see your regular spending over your credit limit. then, they will see how prompt is your payment. that would be critical to bank to approve your loan.
At some point, you don't use the card at all, and the credit limit is high, some banks will just use the credit limit and get a certain percentage as your "regular spending", which actually is not even there. this is one of the reason why a lot people will call in to reduce credit limit.
usually on safe line, your regular spending is about 30% of your credit limit then it gives good chance to get a green light for bank to approve loan. of course, lower better.
