Re: How many Credit Cards do you have?

Just 4, still waiting on the Kay card so I can put it in a sock (I really do, put it in a dirty sock and into my gun safe)... I am also waiting on my CapOne replacement, as my old card no longer would read.

That's not a good card and they give very low limits.  I closed my GM HSBC last year.  It was the first card I closed when I cleaned up my portfolio.  .

5 personal 3 biz. I might get another one in the next few months, but I would probably close one with a lower limit/AF.

 

I really don't want more than 5 or 6 just from an accounting standpoint.

 

What do you people with so many cards use to manage them all? Quicken, a calendar, post-it notes, or what?
