So that I might consider scaling back, what would you consider non-excessive? My credit line is in excess of 35K on this card and I do not want to lose the card as a result of any perceived abuse.
I don't care about CLs. Let's put it this way, how many credit cards do you have and do you use other CCs to charge > $7k a month @ CVS? If so, I suppose not excessive. Are any of the CVS purchases 'real'? If so, what percentage is the 'real' spending? If you are not churning 100%, I suppose not excessive.

Well, you are taking more risks if you abuse the system instead of taking advantage of the system.
