No that wouldn't make much sense. I wasn't really talking about 4 figure limits though. Amex set my initial pay over time limit at $35,000 and it's never moved from that. I do know there have been times they wouldn't let me charge over a threshold that was less than 50% of that. I suspect now they might let me go higher (but have no plans to test that).
