Certain Cards Can Crimp Your Credit (The Motley Fool via Yahoo! News)
Here’s a new one factor that can adversely affect your credit score, credit cards with no preset spending limit. Since their is no limit, the credit utilization of that card is uncalculable. Which can lower your score since some lenders report your limit on these cards as the highest balance you’ve had on it. So if you have a $3,500 balance on this card and the most you’ve used is $5,000, your utilization will be 70% which is pretty high.
