BFD. A few months ago I charged 30K lump sum on one card for a trip I took. My credit SCORE (sorry Don, couldn't resist) dropped about 30 points. Took about 6 weeks to come back after I paid in full at the due date. If you want less fluctuation, and an initial bump when they raise it, ask for a higher credit limit.

I really don't care about my credit score as I am debt-free, other than the monthly CC bills which I pay in full each month. Maybe it's time for a book - Beyond Credit, ex CAA.

P.S. Congrats on working snow into the thread.
