Re: How many cards do you have?

I have two. I'm feeling pretty thin here.
How do you all keep track of so many? I hope you have an online mailbox!! Smiley Happy

Chase Freedom MC 10,500/45
Citi MtvU V 7,000/0--coming soon yippee!

And one student loan out of four to go! Maybe I'll go for an Amex or Discover after my last loan payment.

Re: How many cards do you have?

1 low CL gas only card kept because it is old
1 low CL local store card - some clothes and cosmetics, and it is old
1 gas MC for gas back money
1 airmiles card
1 Amex for travelling
1 CU card low APR no rewards (in case I need to carry a balance)
 
AU on wife's Barnes and Noble card (for books)
 
And that is all I really want.
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

Re: How many cards do you have?

Cards in my wallet:

Amex Blue - My main card that I use daily for everything

Citi Diamond Preferred - for use at places that don't take Amex (like Sam's), or for backup in case Amex decides to F/R me one day.

Amex Gold - Brand new, soon to replace Blue as my main card to reduce util

Debit - For ATM withdrawals and emergencies


Sock drawer:

Crap One Platinum - insultingly low limit and my only card with an AF. Probably going to let this one go before the AF hits again.

Chase KISS Platinum Visa - novelty card only because I'm a fan, not for actual use

Radio Shack - don't need it, just opened it on the outside chance they might give me my 12 year history back. They didn't. Smiley Sad

Re: How many cards do you have?

too many, but mucked up credit in the past so need some to rebuild.  All these have 0 balances.

1/07- 1st premier- 250 CL- firing them in early 09

2/07- orchard- 300 CL*

2/07- orchard- 300 CL*

8/07- 1st premier- 350 CL- firing them in either 8/08 or 8/09

4/08- cap 1- 300 CL- hoping they’ll grow into a 4 digit CL

4/08- BA 99/500- 500 CL- hoping it grows into a 4 digit CL

5/08- target red- 200 CL- hoping it grows into a 4 digit CL visa 1 day

* consolidating these into 1 CC; plan to dump in 3/09 or as soon as a 'prime' cc approves me

Ultimate goal is to dump my subprimes (first premiers/orchards- 4 ccs total) and then possibly add another ‘prime’ cc like Citibank.

Re: How many cards do you have?

I just started looking at the forums here within the past month. Because of what I learned, I got 2 new cards. I'm now up to 3 total:

USBank Platinum Rewards Visa $11250 CL since 06/2004
Chase Freedom Platinum Visa $2000 CL since 05/2008
BoA MC with WorldPoints $2000 CL since 05/2008

I'm now considering getting a gas card (BP?) but I kind of feel uncomfortable getting another hard inq. I can't decide if the credit mix is worth it...
