Re: credit card limits affecting your home loans

The broker recommended that I leave these cards off the application which was never questioned by the bank.

I should add that I rarely get close to 50% of these limits, which makes me ponder NM's approach

I have another card with limit less than $10,000 that I use for personal expenses. This is more than enough for my personal purchases.

This approach makes sense!

I have also heard of ANZ reopening customers accounts after they close them (for free) just incase it was a mistake.
