You can only have 3 cards. What do you keep?

[Anonymous]

I use three because that's the ideal number of cards for credit score worthiness according to some.  

So, what say you?

I have three now, but two are 'store' cards (if you want to call Care Credit a store card).  I'm shooting for Barclay Rewards, and maybe Chase Sapphire Preferred or Amex BCP down the road.

I would keep CSP to pair with freedom definately , As far as BCP goes not that big of an fan of that card when there are no af cards that are better

[GetTheFico]

For me: Barclay Sallie Mae, NFCU CashRewards, and Chase IHG

[CreditMENA]

1. CSP

2. Freedom

3. ...reserved for future use

[Imperfectfuture]

But I want to add business cards that don't report to personal, so I have flexibility,

Freedom and CSP are the two definites for me.  I'd also want another card that's widely accepted, doesn't have an AF (or at least has benefits that are worth the AF) and has great rewards.  Amex would make a nice third choice, but couldn't tell you which, BCP is the favorite on account of groceries, but yeah, that annual fee.   

One card for 5% cash back (Freedom), one card for Dining and Travel (CSP) and one card for my major categories, gas and groceries (Sallie Mae or BCP or a similar No-AF version).

I feel like this is changing for me all the time...but as of now:

1. Sallie Mae 

2. Citi Double Cash

3. US Bank Cash + (I could have easily selected Chase Freedom over this given the annual nerfing of Cash +)

[lord_kinbote]

CSP, Citi DC and Freedom.

[ddemari]

Quicksilver visa, Boa Cash Rewards Visa, and Chase Ritz Visa.
