What are people spending each month?

[Anonymous]

I was just curious as to what people spend each month to keep their cards active? I have 11 major credit cards and about 5 store cards...my question is is there a certain amount that some of you spend each month on your cards to show activity? What are the main cards that some of you use day in and day out. I use my CITI DC as my main and was curious as to what others use.

I put around $500-$700 on my cards monthly. I run about $2 on my AMEX just to keep it active although I don't use it one bit. My daily driver card is my Freedom (most importantly because I still have 0% interest for a remaining 11 months).

about $1500 between my two Amex cards, which is about to shift to my Discover card in the next couple of weeks.

Wayyyyyyyyyy too much! With doctor/PT/acupuncture/ bills AND me replacing almost every piece of furniture in my home, PIF is pretty much eating all my disposable income. I haven't saved (outside my 401k) since July (I did open a 5yr CD, so I guess that's saving). But, before all of this happened, I came back to this site, and am fortunate to be getting rewards for my purchases. I shudder to think how much money I would've lost had I not come to this forum again. I'm actually looking forward to my big furniture purchases that are coming up in the near future!

At least $2000 across all cards if not more

Thanks for the feedback! Do you mind if I ask, why are you moving to Discover? I also have a Discover...and was just curious

Sure!  I primarily used the Amex cards to get the spend bonus for each, now I want to focus on the Amazon 5% cashback category (holidays\birthdays).   At this point the Delta Amex is somewhat useless (aside from the free bag; the zone 1 priority is not worth it), and the ED card doesn't give me point for gas.. I should have read the fine print.

I'll keep them long enough to PC to something more useful, hopefully.

About $11k-$13k per month. Depending on travel.

$5K - $6k a month is normal.  There are fluctuations such as travel, Christmas, and such where it is much more.  Then there are months it might be as low as $3K.
