I don't think that a blanket statement as seen above is necessarily correct. We know nothing about the person's finances. If he normally puts $10k/mo on credit cards, putting an additional $5K month by MSing is probably not going to get noticed in any way. On the other hand, having a normal $200/mo cc bill balloon to $5200/mo will probably cause some issues.
It also will depend on credit line and financial information. Someone making $100K/yr is going to be less at risk than someone making $40K.

I essence, common sense is what is needed. If you have limited assets then keep your MSing in line with that.
