In this study the relationship between personal credit card (PCC) usage tendency and individuals' incomes and card limits is examined. The study utilizes comprehensive microdata sets containing PCC, gross income, and card limit at the individual level. Accordingly, first, the distributions regarding this relationship are presented using various indicators. Subsequently, the elasticity between PCC balances and income/limit levels is tested. Analyses reveal that there is a positive relationship between income, card limit and PCC balance, and this relationship differs according to different limit increase rates. Finally, it is found that individuals with excessive credit limits, regardless of income level, have lower limit occupancy rates and higher card indebtedness compared to other individuals.
