The Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi is available to Costco members. If you qualify, you could take advantage of the card's many benefits, including earning cash back rewards.
If you're approved for a card, your credit limit will be based on factors like your income, credit score and recent credit applications. Here's what you need to know:
Factors that may affect your credit limit
When you apply for the Costco Anywhere Visa®, in addition to having an active Costco membership, you'll also provide other information on a credit card application that helps determine eligibility and issue an appropriate credit limit if approved. Here are some factors that may impact your limit.
Payment history
Payment history is an important part of your credit history and one that Citi may use to help determine your credit limit. A history of timely payments could signal that you're a responsible borrower and may help you qualify for a higher credit limit.
Credit utilization
Credit utilization reflects how much of your available credit you're currently using. A lower credit utilization ratio may indicate to card issuers that you're able to manage debt responsibly.
Credit mix
Another factor in your credit score is credit mix or the combination of loans and revolving credit you're managing. A broader credit mix may signal a greater ability to manage debt effectively.
Income
Citi may ask about income to verify that you'll be able to repay the money you charge on a card. A higher income could help you obtain a higher credit limit.
Recent credit card applications
Applying for too many credit cards at once may appear risky to a lender and may result in a lower credit limit if you're approved.
Current accounts
Citi may also review the number of credit cards you already have and the total credit limit. If you already have access to a large amount of credit, whether at the same institution or others, a card issuer may use that information to determine your credit limit.
