I would be applying for BankAmerica Travel Card and Rewards card next in coming weeks. Since i have been banking with them for about 5 months.

So i almost got rewards card of all sort, Travel card should complete my portfolio.

Thanks for responding. I didn't get you when you meant three prime's.

I plant to have just 4-5 cards then forget about applying forever. I am not a heavy user, but first time moved into new apartment, highest utilization was $1187 on my Discover. Other than that my maximum cap has been around 400$ - 600$ per month, some times goes over $800 when i needed to buy some electronics for family back in asia.
