Future Wallet.....Is it Ok?

Guilty as charged, I do like certain cards because of how they look. That said, I want them to have a purpose too. I have a standard VIsa Platnium with a 3k limit, Zync and Gold. Within 6 months to a year I would like the Amex BCP card as the cash back looks awesome! I would also like a Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa so I can use it where Amex is not accepted along with Just a change up. I would sock drawer my other visa and Zync.

 

Amex Gold

Amex BCP

Chace SP

 

Does that make sense? I applied for the CSP, but got the 7 to 10 day wait and have a feeling I didn't get it.

Re: Future Wallet.....Is it Ok?

Is the 3k visa your highest limit on credit cards?

Yes, besides the amex's which are npsl and are charge cards so they do not count I suppose...

Where is a low apr in your future mix? All the cards mentioned have rates in the teens.

Honestly, I never gave it a single thought. HOwever, would it matter? I would pay everything off in full. So wouldn't interest never get charged?

 

What cards would you suggest?

I recommend you look at USAA, Iberia Bank and Simmons Bank as starters. I PIF as you do but, there may come a situation when low cost money is needed for a short time. There is a reason they are called "credit" cards and who wants to pay more than they have to?

You really want all of your cards in your future wallet to have an AF? BCP-75, CSP-95, Zync- 25 min, Gold- 125... all of them have AF's except the visa plat.. im guessing.

Cancel the Zync to avoid the AF if you get the other AMEXs.

IMHO I would cancel the zync and just app for the regular sapphire since you will just Sd it anyhow.
