She has never maxed out her card, but had charged as much as $3000.00 on it. I had not yet heard of this practice. I guess they are covering their behinds for a lesser loss should she stop paying her bill.

I am not sure what formula they used to do it but I would not assume the action is necessarily linked to any bail out funds.

Capital One just bumped up the interest on the card I have with them to nearly *26%.* In response I just paid off the entire balance, and will probably close my account next month.

It's an inconvenience to you to have to come up with a plan B-- but it's also a compliment :) (To be fair, I realize you didn't say or imply that they "owe" this service to you. Just adding to the conversation here.) My guess is that there will for the near future be enough no-annual-fee/ plus rewards options for people like us-- because there's always the "hope" (theirs, not ours) that we'll overshoot our spending and go into debt-- but it's not inconceivable that the "long-term relationship with people who don't get into debt" type of credit card will eventually disappear. This is supply-and-demand like everything else. There will, though, almost certainly always be FEE-based cards for people who use them purely for convenience rather than for borrowing. And that's fair enough. To the question "Why should *I* pay a fee??" the answer is another question: "Why should *WE* give you a free service?" But in the meantime, there are other no-annual-fee options: some other company will think the combination of 1) being able to increase market share, 2) getting those few cents per transaction from vendors every time you use the card, and 3) the "hope" that you'll eventually go into debt-- and when you do will be able to pay it, makes you an attractive customer.

The issue of the lower utilization ratio SHOULD help your credit rating – until you go to actually USE that credit rating. Then having the higher limit is a knock against you. Before you actually get a loan, you should ask to lower the limit, so the bank has fewer reasons to push back.
