Not sure? I'm using 2 for furniture, 2 for landscaping and outside stuff & 2 for everything in the middle! I really need to do my floors now. Almost done with the furniture. And that took over a year! Paying that off over the next 6 months completely & moving on. This new house thing is turning into a lot of $$$$$. 
Have the Diamond Preferred & DC. Citi didn't give me such great limits on them. 6k & 6K. So give them to hubby to use for daily stuff. Never thought of it? Good idea! Seems everything I want is Citi! I don't want HD or Lowe's if I can help it. Not unless it say's Visa or M/C after it! I'm cutting back on the store cards (except the ones I really use) and trying for higher limits on the major one's and canceling the ones that I'm not using much. Better to have less cards with higer limits than more cards with lower limits. 
Sorry it took a bit to answer! Was watching my granddaughter and just couldn't get on here.

It was a new house now its your personalize new HOME
Complete with equity
We did our kitchen 2 years ago (mostly) through HD. We had about $20k of cabinets picked out, ready to order. DH applied and was approved for $10k, reconned (before we knew what it was) in-store and got $20k. I applied for it as well, separately, and was approved for $10k. At the time, I think his reports were clean, we had one CU card at $15k and other cards in the $3-5k range that we were both on. I had a couple baddies at the time. No idea what our scores were. Just paid off DH's and got mine paid down to below 50%. 
At the same time I got a Lowe's card and was approved for $3k (I think) and did one CLI request and am at $6k (don't remember if I had to ask for something and asked for more and only got $6 or what.). Haven't tried for more.
Myjourney that's the way I feel. It was pretty generic as most of the homes here that are "unique" are either on the water or with much acreage and in the millions. My thinking has changed from "goodies" to making my house a home. Equity sounds much better! Thank you.
