What if they don't increase everyone's limit? I had (well, almost had) a 50 limit without interest with VTB. I used it regularly, no late payments. Then I went to pay, and it said insufficient funds (and I checked yesterday, there was 10 thousand). They reduced it in the app, but it's unclear by how much. Anyway, the balance became 0. My expenses were 40 thousand (well, 50 minus 10 is 40). Will the limit be around 20 or 30 now? They say there's high load. All payments are made on time. Yes, I have two other cards: one is just open, I use the other one too, plus a mortgage... Basically, if there are no late payments, how can they reduce it!?
It's just that it smells good, and the scent lingers. (Linoleum) Let me know.

All banks do this, they lower your limit. They do it to close a contract with you that's more profitable for them. They'll lower it to 0, and you'll have to open a credit card under new terms. My husband had this happen with Alfa-Bank, they zeroed out his account. Sberbank is doing it to me now. My credit limit is 400,000 rubles, and they'll start lowering it from November – jerks.

Zhanna You should at least warn us, it's quite a surprise. Did Sber send you something? Because my second credit card is also with Sber and they're actively using it too. But maybe Sber at least gives a heads-up.

Alfa is also strange.

Same situation, I had a limit of 50,000 in VTB, and yesterday they wrote that they lowered it to 10,000. 🫣 Unpleasant, we used it for so many years and always paid on time, and now this...

Yana Just like yesterday. VTB is a strange bank, it does everything secretly and abruptly.
We need to look for another bank with different conditions.

Yana Sber also reduced ours last year. It was 270, and now it's 100.

Sberbank also lowered mine because I use it rarely and with small amounts.
But first, they set a high limit for me, so it's actually good for me that they lowered it.

Olya I even went, but at that time I was paying it off and they told me that I needed to pay off all the debts on the card first and only then they would lower it.
I gave up and didn't go or call anymore.

And Tbank keeps raising my credit limit, even though I don't need it. But I'm currently using Ozon Bank and their credit card.

Zhanna Wrote to the bank's credit card department via the app. No SMS, nothing at all

Zhanna I'm not going to agree to a new one, I have a bunch of these credit cards, why the hell do I need them.

They only increase it at the bank. I started with 100k, now it's 660k

My credit limit was increased (by a different bank), although I don't need it. I wanted to lower it. (Even though I'm not even working) but I always pay on time. And my husband's was lowered. Also VTB, I think. Even though he also has a savings account at that bank. And his income is normal. It probably depends on the bank. My bank keeps calling me to offer me a credit card.

Anyuta You can lower it yourself in the app and disable automatic limit increases.

As far as I remember, it's automatically calculated based on your spending. You can also increase the amount and set it so it's not automatically recalculated after a certain time by applying at the bank.
