Wallet
CSP
EDP
Ink+ for business
and two $100 bills and three $20 bills
I think for people here on these forums it would be hard not to have that.... and many cards that do the same thing. So the hard trick is to get the right mix in so that you don't have someone like Barkclays do a CD or have a card closed because of lack of use. If I only had one of two cards it would be a lot easier to concentrate on one reward.
Everything in my sig is in my wallet. Very lackluster compared to others but I don't want a bunch of cards to juggle.
Amex PRG
Citi Advantage
Chase CSP
Chase Freedom
Amex Centurion
Goals free flights for Family to visit.
In my wallet
5K CU card with 8.54% Apr
--The End--
Though I do have a 1K PLOC
Along with an infamous 600$ "Yuppie Foodstamp" Secured Share loan unf its only a 12 month one.
Update

The credit siren at Chase called me to app... and I waltzed away with 5400 instant approval at 14.24% plus a tasty 150$ after 500$ spend
In my wallet is Barclay Rewards World Mastercard, Cap One Quksilver One and Macy's (which Im hoping becomes Amex soon. Thats all. I dont want to carry balances or rack up credit card debt anymore ever again. Im done with that. Its all about PIF.
