If someone asked you what is the credit limit on the last...

credit card you used, without looking, would you know what it is?

I was asked this as a security question to confirm my identity and I failed. I have no idea what it is.

Re: If someone asked you what is the credit limit on the last...

I do, but that's mainly because I zero out the balance all the time on-line, so I always see the available credit at least twice a month.

No clue...I just know it is high because I get letters frequently that state they are raising it again.

That is a weird security question!! Chat Icon

What if you use an AmEx? No preset spending limit, so technically, you can't know what the limit is...

Technically, it's not a credit card, it's a charge card (revolving line of credit).

Huh.... I did not know that. Thanks! I have an AmEx, but it's only for work, so I don't really use it if I can avoid it.

Re: If someone asked you what is the credit limit on the last...

I know what my credit limit is on some of my cards but not all of them. That's a strange security question, usually it's your mother's maiden name and/or last 4 digits of your SS#. Chat Icon

They have credit products (blue, Costco co-brand, Delta co-brand) but the traditional green & gold cards are charge. I worked in their direct mail new customer acquisition group for a while.

I'd have no clue.

It's certainly not one of the "usual" security questions...

Re: If someone asked you what is the credit limit on the last...

I think I only know the credit limit on one card which is the card with the best APR.

I barely ever use credit so I don't have a hoot as to what the other limits are.

Nope. Wouldn't know it.

They'd have to come up with another question.

I don't think I would have a clue either... When I recently looked at one of my statements, I took notice of it. Chat Icon I couldn't believe how high it was!! Like $65K Chat Icon Scary to know I can charge that much. I could never!

Re: If someone asked you what is the credit limit on the last...

i guess it depends on what kind of card it was. i know the limits on all my cards but the last one i used was a store credit card - not sure if that counts.

Yes, I know my CC limits. The banks are kind enough to notify me each time they raise it. Chat Icon

Yes, I know both limits on both cards. I inseccently check the balance on my cards so it's been drilled into my head

Re: If someone asked you what is the credit limit on the last...

I would have a harder time figuring out which CC I used last.

I definitely know the limits on every card, though.
