Why is it so hard to get a credit card for a small amount of $3000-$5000 when you are retired?

The majority of retirees normally pay off their cards in full each month. This means no interest earnings for the bank but costs of administration are still borne by the bank. That is not what banks want. It's very little to do with income levels, although the bank peddles this as a reason. Many retirees have more than enough income to service a credit card.
