The downside is that your utilization will be too high.
That's only a factor if he plans on buying a house soon. Other than that it wouldn't negativity affect him. Assuming he already has a 700+ score of course.

Yes
My utilization rate is usually anywhere from 0-15%, depending on when the report is run, and I've never carried a balance. Don't they aggregate all credit limits and utilization to determine your rate? So if for example I am currently utilizing $5k of $65k, my UR is 7.7%. If I were to get a CC with a $25k limit and put $20k on it, that would bring me up to 25/85, or 29.4%.
