A word of caution, though - don't spend over 50% of the limit if you can avoid it, it will damage your credit scored, even if you pay it in full each month.

Just thought I'd give you a heads up

I have never heard of the 50% of the limit rule? Does it matter how high the limit is? Does it matter how often you go over the 50%? Is it better to put 35% on two cards rather than 70% on one? Does that make any sense?
