This is why I make sure that I double that cap!
Two cards are better than one. (I could actually use a third)
Yes, but for the few CC owners who are maximizing bonus categories, an even smaller subset has "duplicate cards". It's just not a large number of people doing this for it to be a concern for Discover.

You make a very valid point!
At one time I was going to combine them and have one with a larger CL, but I realized I needed two,
as to maximize on having a larger cap. for spend. Also the second one I just met the 5+5 cash back match.
So it was effectively 10% (At the end of one year)
I still at some point may combine the two, and apply for another one,
in order to get a larger CL on card #1 and then get another year of cash back match, after opening another.
Does this still work? It was my understanding that Discover now only offers that cashback match if you have never had it before.
