With that many cards, how do you store them all? I was thinking something like this. https://www.staples.com/Cardinal-Business-Collection-Card-File-Black-96-Card-Capacity-4-1-2-x-1-2-x-...
FYI I think I've settled on Citi DC, Penfed Promise, CFU, and maybe US Bank Cash+ for my first spree. Have to do a little research on their HPs in CA but ready to take the plunge soon once all the current accounts report 0.
Thanks for all the great advice in this thread!
No problem my friend. I'm no expert. Just giving my experiences. And passing on info some of the long time members passed on to me.
Nice CC picks you have there. That's not a bad idea having a card file storage . Currently my extra cards are stored in the night stand.
The rest of them are carried in this billfold https://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Colombo-RFID-Long-Credit-Card-Wallet/4094913/product.html?r...
Yes.. I normally have 20 or so cards on me most of the time. lol
Ha ha,
Yup.. I like choices.
Hit US bank first if you decide on that one.
If not , the others will all be EX and EQ, mainly EQ. I apped Amex, Penfed, Chase, BofA and Citi in the same week, if memory serves me correctly. All were approved back then. BofA was the last in that line. I did have to talk to a UW for verification. She just wanted to make sure I was the one that applied, before she gave her stamp of approval. I think you'll be fine any way you go with your choices.

Well... I fell off the wagon
Yesterday was the final day for an Amex Member Reward of 5000 points for a $99 Amazon Prime subscription so I signed up. Then this morning I decided to take the next step and sign up for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card and was immediately approved for $5,000. At this rate I'll never get back below 5/24. 
Backstory: I've been a member of Amazon.com since 1995 when I was a grad student at Michigan and they only sold books. I now work for Amazon and we get a 10% employee discount or orders sold and fulfilled by AMZN. I rarely ever purchase anything on Amazon (perhaps because I work there) but my kids use it frequently. I found out recently that my teenaged daughter was paying $10.99 monthly for Amazon Prime so I told her to cancel her subscription and I'd sign up for one we could share. Now I'll see if I can combine the 10% employee discount with the 5% back.
With the $70 gift card from Amazon and the 5000 MR points from Amex at minimum I'm breaking even on the Prime subscription for this year.
Nice MnB! Was there another Chase card you were after? Technical the card doesn't count until it reports. That's a great SL for the Amazon CC!
If you're going to hit them for another in the near future..do it today.As long as it doesn't fall in the 5/24 group. It will save you a couple of pulls. I know I know...I'm the devil on your shoulder. lol

Yes, I actually wanted the CSP. I only applied for the Amazon card on a whim since I'd only opened a Freedom on 12/28. Don't tempt me
