I noticed that you have the First Tech card. I had it a while back (before addison merged with first tech)
Can you share your scores?

To answer your question:
AmEx BCP $19.3k
USAA World MC $14k
Discover More $4k
BofA Visa Sig $5k
Target $2.5k
I'm surprised you havent gone for any NFCU cards.
I have 10 cards:
Citi Dividend Mastercard $7450, Citi ThankYou Amex $5650, American Express HHonors $10,500, BofA Accelerated Rewards Amex $8,000, M&I Bank Visa $4,000, Discover More $1,800, Chase Sapphire $8500, Chase Freedom $3000, Nordstrom $3000, Von Maur Charge (npsl).
Just recently went from $6k on the HHonors to what I requested, $10.5k, instantly after request.
my small collection
nfcu cashrewards 15K
Sallie Mae 5% 7.5K
chase sapphire preferred 5k
Boa cashrewards 5k
citi dividend 3.8k
chase amazon 2.8k
best buy store 1940
cap one platinum 1.5k
hsbc platinum 1.5k
citi diamond preferred 1k

4 cards for me: $14600 total
Amex BCE - $3000
Chase Freedom - $3000
Chase BP - $4600
Citi Forward - $4000
Edit: Chase BP is a mix between Penfed (5% gas except only at BP) and Amex TrueEarnings (2% restaurants and travel), all the others I'm sure ppl are familiar with

I might go for the NFCU cash rewards card someday just because it's 1.5% after $10k. It'd make a good "all other categories" card. For now I have enough to meet my needs. Maybe after my AAoA recovers I'll look into it.
Honestly if I was looking to maximize every reward cent possible I'd do a Chase Freedom for the 5% categories that don't overlap with Discover More, Sapphire for the 2% on dining, PenFed for fuel, and NFCU for everything else. But that's a lot of cards to carry around, pay off, and remember which one to use all the time, and remind my wife which one to use all the time. Yes I know there are some of you guys that have spreadsheets and formulas for all that but I have enough to keep me occupied.
*Yes I know Citi Foward does 5x points on dining but I am not a fan of the Thank You points program. 1 point isn't always 1%.
**I know Capital One Cash effectively gives you 1.5% on all purchases but I prefer to steer clear of Cap1 altogether.
Between the wife and I, we've got 30 of the darn things.
total credit line= $35,225.00
total balances= $20,655.17.
Overall util = 58.6%
Someday, I'd like to obtain bigger, better (balance transfer) cards, but not this year...too many inquiries.
I am very proud of my crop right now. I will be 21 next month and I think I am doing pretty good for my age.
Capital One Platinum MC - CL $500 - 9/10
Amazon Store Card - CL $1200 - 5/11
Care Credit - CL $2000 - 9/11
And in the last two days I was approved for;
Capital One Cash Rewards MC - CL $3,000
Citi Forward - CL $2,500
Total Credit Line - $9,200
I currently have balances totaling $991 which will put my UTL at 11%
I had to share. I was approved for the Citi card about 20 minutes ago so I'm still very excited!
