Huge credit limit decrease!

Tweet

I received an email this morning from the bank that does my Old Navy credit card. I signed up for a brand-only credit card that could be used for Old Navy, GAP, and Banana Republic but after a few years they wound up switching me over to a regular credit card that I could use anywhere. Purchases earned reward dollars for orders at those companies but I could use the credit card to pay for anything. I haven't used it in almost a year. We used to have one of the monthly utility bills at the house on it just to keep the account active. Since I moved out I've only used it to buy clothes and I haven't done much of that. My balance has always been paid off within the month. Today I received an email informing me that my credit limit was reduced from $10,000 to $1024. (random number) I have absolutely no clue why. I'm not particularly worried about it as I rarely use the card anyway. I just am curious as to why it was reduced to drastically and to such a bizarre amount. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow after work.
