<prompt> Human: Last year I applied for an Amex and expected to be approved with a limit similar to my other cards, around 2000. I was making 40,000 a year had a 700 something credit score. They gave me a 10,000 limit. It just seems absurd they would give me a limit of a quarter of my pre tax income.  <response>: Its not unusual to have card limits above your income.
