Because the credit card industry is a big business, most of their money is made off of credit card fees. Any given credit card will allow a customer to go over the limit just to ensure that a 'over the limit' fee is charged. This 'over the limit' can lead to a higher annual percentage rate and late fees. If you are any where near your limit, refrain from any new charges that could put you over the limit. Include any 'blocked' amounts in the balance.
