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

I don't have any Sallie Mae or Amex yet. So from what I have I'd keep Fredom, Discover, CSP

I guess mine would be CapitalOne Venture, Barclay Ring and Amex BCE.

I've got some cards. Some are pretty, some are ugly. Some are more useful than others.

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

I am glad I do not have to do this but honestly I would have to eliminate 3 (BofA, Chase Freeddom) and put the rest of my cards in a bucket and do like a price draw.  Each card has its purpose and gets used so this would give me too much of a headache.  Hope you never make me do this ..lol

If I were to get pre qualified for the freedom, then that card will replace my qs visa.

Of those I have now: NFCU cashRewards, Barclay Rewards, and Cap 1 rewards.

 

I'm only an AU on the Cap1 though, so I would "replace" it with a Chase Ink (or Cap1 Spark) for bustiness use.

Tough one for me...

1. CSP (No Intl fees, love UR for travel, restaurants, 3x points for restaurant 1st Friday of each month.)

2. Amex Platinum (Lounge access for my job: Travel)

3. Amex BCE (Gas, groceries, cash back. Will PC to BCP when year is up for BCE.)
