What do you ACTUALLY carry in your wallet?

[amex77]

Amex Hilton (Primary)-----$13,900

Citi Hilton Visa Signature (Back-up)-----$19,900

Chase Saphire World Mastercard (Back-up for the back-up)-----$20,000

They're the only cards I have. I don't see a need for any more. I'll probably be in the garden for the rest of my life. (I'm 61).

My Amex BCP should be here any day now. Once it is, my everyday lineup will be:

Amex BCP - 6% groceries, 3% gas

Discover More - 5% categories and ShopDiscover

Chase Amazon Visa - 2% restaurants/fast food

Barclaycard Rewards World Mastercard - 2% utilities

Target Red Card - 5% discount at Target

Debit card - not really used, just in case

I also do actually carry these in my wallet, but they generally don't get much (or any) use:

Old Navy store card - rewards/discounts at Old Navy

Walmart store card - free TU FICO!

GE CareCredit - for use at the dentist

GM Card (Formerly HSBC, now Capital One - 1% cash back

Chase Slate - balance transfers if needed

US Bank Gymboree Visa - 5% discount at Gymboree

Best Buy store card - rewards/discounts at Best Buy

Platinum Mastercard - old account, no rewards

JPM Palladium

Amex PRG

Ameriprise World Elite Mastercard

Citibank debit card

These 4 cards cover all my bases.  Palladium for hidden TL and concierge, PRG for daily purchases, Ameriprise for large purchases that I can't pay off immediately, (due to 6.24%) and debit card for cash withdrawal. 

Thinking back, 4 years ago all I had in my wallet was my girlfriends debit card because my credit was so poor, and I was even on chex systems, so I couldn't even open a bank account.  I have made so many mistakes in my life.  (Both personal and credit wise).  Well, live and learn!

Zync is usually the go to card, but I'll use discover for useful categories. If a merchant is only MC/Visa, I use the SW RR Visa.

I actually have most of my cards with me but don't use them... just don't like to see empty slots in my wallet!

I try to keep them all but I have alot...some sock drawered......but most of these have hot to go....like the gas cards that I don't even use anymore or store cards that get used once a year

I picked the cards I apped for so that I can get great coverage of what I have in daily expenses without too many cards:

1. Amex BCP (6% Groceries, 3% Gas and Department Stores, 1% rest)
2. Citi Forward VISA (5 points for eating out and cinemas, 1 point for everthing that does not take Amex)
3. A debit MasterCard for cash.

With those cards, I never have accpetance problems and my "out and about" expenses roughly get rewarded with:

• 60% at 6% (I live next to a whole foods....)
• 20% at 5 points (and like eating out)
• 5% at 3% (hardly need gas and don't go to department stores)
• 15% at 1% (don't shop at walmart and co)

for an average of 5% (or slightly less since I won't always get 1p=1penny on the forward points).

Optimizing the last  20% does not seem worth it to me. If I had a general 2% card for the last 15%, that'd get me to an average of 5.1%.

Again, this is only for walking around. For online expenses and travel, I could probably benefit from another card or two.
