Can someone please explain?

I enjoy looking at the various cards that people put at the bottom of the post.

I haven't the expertise to put mine in......anyway...

I notice that many Capital 1 folks have 2 of the same card

2 quicksilver ones...2 platinum 

Even 2 quicksilver....

I see many multiple discos, chase,etc....but not the same card...

What am I missing

It seems like this is a non serious thread day

Fun friday...

This is purely out of curiosity

Thanks!

People have multiple cards of the same kind for various reasons; more total available credit, double the rewards and in CapOne's case the ability to combine cards for one larger card limit

Thanks for the fast response, Irish

Is cap 1 the only outfit that let's you combine?

One of the cards may have originally been a different product (different card) and was changed over the years because the original card was discontinued, graduated from secured card and was changed into a reward card.. something like that. For situation like multiple Amex you might find people who have a platinum card (high annual fee) but they don't really spend money on that card.  They just use it for airline credits, airport lounge access, etc.  but they might have other Amex cards as well (spg, everyday preferred, etc) that they use for actually putting charges on.

Also to setup your signature you can go to "My Settings" then personal info and you can at least put in a text signature (like I have) or if you want to put the pictures in you can look into doing that as well.

I shall try the .my settings....thanks

I don't notice the exact same amex card, though.

Multiple products from the same company , not 2 exact same cards side by side...

Only notice the cap 1 crew doing that?

You can find some people with multiple BoA (i.e. 2 BBR cards) and a few that managed to get multiple of the same card from barclay (i.e. Sallie Mae cards) but most the time it is cap1 that will hand out multiples of the same card

Some cards have limits on the cash back you can earn per quarter, so if you're pushing the limit, it might help to have multiple accounts. With Cash+, there's an added incentive: You get to choose your own rewards categories, and having two cards gives you four 5% categories, instead of two.

Duh! I forgot about the Cash+ which is horrible of me since I actually have 2 Cash+ cards

I have 2 BofA cards because one was PC'd to the travel rewards.

I have 2 chase cards because I got 2 cards:1 HP
