I only noticed it since i am new to PC M/C and my limit is low . They would only give us $2000.00 I usually always spend 1500.00 to 1800 a month and never pay a penny interest . We tried to have it increased but they say 6-9 months Guess we had too much credit available . i really am sorry we went with them . Had Bmo mosaic M/C for 25 years and had a limit of 25 grand . Wanted to try PC points instead of airmiles . Our Daughter on Minimum wage has a higher limit than us old retired folks with money
