If your bank has run a credit check on you and gave you a specific maximum dollar amount they will cover for the loan, then that's good business. Because they know your good for it. As for a blank check policy I would be cautious and ask what it's going to cost in finace charges and interest rates. Sometimes you can find yourself in a trap. Ask your banker to spell out the differance of a set credit line and an open or blankcheck line. It's worth the trouble. Have Him or Her put the differances in writing for your comparing.
