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.(00:57) - What is credit cycling? (02:38) - Why is cycling generally inadvisable? (03:55) - 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.
