Had a question about: I was wondering for Chase cards (cause I have one), if the credit limit will is the # used for the utilization. There were previous posts for Capital One where the denominator for the utilization was not the actual credit limit, but the credit SPENT. I was wondering if this was the same for Chase and which banks or credit card companies we have to watch for that do that.

I work for one of those companies. No, the pay does not trickle down. In fact I am doing three jobs and get paid for one, I also work a lot of over time but do not get over time pay.
