Re: any advice on how to keep up with all my cards .....

Blispay doesn't offer the auto-pay option, but other than that, I set up auto-pay for all accounts.

You can use a spreadsheet, or Mint, or you can close some accounts down according to your comfort level. Not everyone enjoys maintaining many accounts and everyone's tolerance level varies. But my opinion is that if you are stressing out or finding it hard to deal with, you should just close some. With 15 accounts, you definitely have room to trim and likely experience no credit score issues from doing so.

I would def close a few accounts. 15 is just crazy.

But like a poster said earlier, I have all my cards close on the same day.

Set up mint, virtually nothing competes with it, and it's safe. Secondly, set up all your cc accounts to fall in the same week. Mind you the hangar won't work for 1-2 billing cycles. I never set up auto-pay, but I also don't use more than 2-3 cards at a time (of the 25 I have)

I have everything on Mint Bills. Push notifications when new bills come up and everything in one place. I'm not so fond of regular Mint but Intuit bought out the product that is now Mint Bills but never changed it so I still use it (it used to be Check.me and before that it was Pageonce).

I've done billpay through it as well and it's relatively fast, but I usually just use it for an overview of what I need to pay and set up payments manually.

I just set up Mint as well. It's nice to have all my information in one place.

This is the first I've heard of mint. I'm going to check out that app.

But what I typically do is have a note sheet on my phone that lists balances and due dates ofy credit cards. It was definitely easier to remember dates when I had only two or three credit cards.

I'm a huge fan of mint.  Although I still login directly to my accounts on a bi-monthly basis at the very least.  Sometimes the account logins on mint break even though you haven't changed your password.  That can be annoying but it is a free service.
