Just curious. It seems as if my expenditures revolve around how much I paid into my credit cards. I'll forever be in credit card debt dry.gif . Luckily, I haven't missed a payment, so I'm assuming I'm ok?? Hopefully tongue.gif . I have 3 btw that I currently use.

Have 20+ CC cards...

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX...you name it

My main two are the AMEX blue cash and Chase Freedom. Can't beat those rewards!!

Used to have the Citi Dividend card as a main card...until they cut the reward from 5% to 2%....GG

Just why do you need so many cards? With a Amex blue cash, you'll need to spend between $8666-13000 before its rewards beat the common 1%-2% (gas, supermarkets, restaurants) cash-back rewards card. And why Chase Freedom? I'm sure you have better choices.

How exactly do you utilize your cards?

----

As for me, I have 4 cards that I rotate regularly to boost my credit rating. They are all cash-back rewards cards as other rewards cards are quite a hassle to spend (and they really don't offer better returns than 2-3% except under specific & annoying conditions.)

I find it very annoying when credit cards are not allowed in certain stores because I don't carry change (makes your wallet huge). I tend to avoid those stores in general.

I have one for business and one for personal. I rarely use them, and don't carry a balance.

I have 4, but only use my Amazon card. I always pay off my balance before the end of the month, so I'm always debt-free if you take student loans of the equation.

3.

One for CDN with cashback dividends and no annual fee, and two USD cards - one for cashback, and the other for SPG.

3 personal...
Citibank MC, Chase MC, and Amex.

2 business...
Chase MC and Amex.

Although Chase isn't ideal when it comes to rewards, it just makes my banking simpler. I have accounts with Chase for just about everything. I dont carry balances so it doesn't really matter which card I use. I occassionaly do but only to spread out payments to hide large purchases from the misses..haha. She eventually finds out anyway but at least it buys me a little time to come up with excuses. xP

I have only one right now. Kind of hard to have anymore if I don't have a job.

I have one cc and one debit card. I pretty much only use my cc for gas only and pay it all off at the end of the month. Gotta build up my credit!
Let me know when the sky falls down so I can catch it.
