Link please? I have not seen one site that does that.
at the  top, under "Rewards & Offers" at the top, there's a link for "Your FICO Score"

Is lowering credit limit on a card bad for your credit score?

If you're total available CL goes down, it will hurt your score.

If all the credit available to you across all you're cards on your CR goes down, it hurts your score. The ratio between available credit and how much you're using is 30% of your score.

If you shift credit it won't hurt unless you shift to a business card that doesn't report.

All this about available credit and your score is dependent on your own credit file. I can close cards with 100k of available credit and it wouldn't effect my score. Your goal should be to get to the point were you don't have to play all these different games.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
