Two Ch@se Biz cards for a legit business:

CI Preferred 40k CL: 15k in ads x3 & 25k non-bonus

My worry is hitting the credit line or going over, and thus I'm cycling. Also, I'm killing the 3x ad spend (which is legitimate), but am afraid this will get my account looked at due to its high proportion of spend, and thus lead to scrutiny.

The amounts are small, compared to what I see around here, so please don't laugh

If you made it this far, I have one more ask. Assuming I ramp slowly, how high could I get without worrying too much? Don't worry, I won't hold you to it when I get shut down!
I think the risk of getting shutdown based on your spend profile right now is very low. I don't think anyone can give you a clear answer about how much you can spend without worrying "too much". But the risk definitely increases if you start spending more than your credit limit. If you do plan to try spending more, you are wise to ramp up slowly.
