Reducing credit card limit
Guys - in general, should I reduce the credit limit card issuers provide me given to maximize the number of credit cards I can apply? Most times I get 17k but then few months later, when I apply for a new card, they say too much credit out. I usually don't need more than 5k and pay off my balances in full
Thanks
Thanks

Higher limits beget higher limits. Do you have multiple cards with any of the issuers known to combine limits? That is one way to crowbar your limits up.
