Not sure who that is. Was just posting my opinion and adding to the thread. I apologize if I came off wrong.

He was some immature kid who couldn't stop lying about his cards, yet was too stupid to realize that there were huge holes in his story that everyone could see. He left the forums for awhile, tried to come back under another name, was called out, and ran off again. I suspect he will be back eventually. As to your opinion, no worries at all. I agree completely and definitely don't like too many cards. I like to keep things fairly simple whenever possible.

Sign up bonuses are mostly the reason I get cards. I just started a business last year so I also aim for cards that have no interest incase I want to carry a balance while I sell the items, which has not happened yet. I also look for the highest cashback possible. The interest free periods are ending on a few so I may close some that only earn 1% and transfer the credit to another card I use more.

I can understand that. A lot of people churn cards like crazy for the millions of points/ bonuses a year.
