  a credit limitation.

  are able to bill to the card.
• If you go over that limit, then you might be
  penalized.
• The actual quantity of the credit limit is set by
  the card issuer also it doesn't need to be
  identical for each individual.

  limitation of 500 while some other might have a
  limit of 5000.
