What happens when a store doesn't take Amex?  

 

In my safe:

BofA Visa Signature

Amex Corporate card

 

that leaves me with Costco Amex, Walmart Discover, and DCU Visa to cover all my bases.

Re: Whats in your... sock drawer?

Capone (even though it has a $50 credit they gave me for being a valued customer when I asked for a reduction of my interest rate)

Household (since Capone froze CLI's)

Merrick (since they won't release my security funds or remove the annual fee, it stays there until I get an Amex, the if no changes to their policies it goes)

Walmart (unless the restart the 25 cents per gallon discount)

PayPal (high interest rate, even though I don't pay interest since I pay in full each month)

Belks (I haven't even actually used the card ever)

Bealls (they send too many emails to market to me, which makes it seem like they are desperate)

Marathon Gas (why should I use that when Discover gives me 5% back?)

Marathon Visa (the rewards aren't that great)

Barclay Rewards MC (they seem kinda iffy on customer service)

 

Basically I just use the Chase, Discover, and Compass Card now.  (Actually, I don't use the Compass Card, my sister does.)

 

The first one to list was the easiest, since they have issues for rebuilders.  Knowing what is there should be accompanied by why to give a better understanding of why.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.
