subject: Pushing your card beyond its limits [print this page] If you have several, you might want to compare credit cards to find out which ones you would like to request an increase for. Arguably, the best credit cards for such requests would be those that provide maximum benefit as opposed to liability. What makes one card better than another is really dependent on how you use it and how much you are able to take advantage of the associated perks, such as flier miles, rebates, discounts, and the like. If you are a jetsetter, for example, and you spend more using a card which gives you a lot of travelling benefit, then your increased credit limit gives you more access to even greater rewards.
