No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Only 1, the Blue Cash Preferred. Tempted to app for a card with an AF, but I'll wait until I can get my income up a little more.
I used to have none with AF. Then...
Delta AMEX Gold June 2013
Delta AMEX Platinum Feb 2014 (closed Oct 2014)
US Bank Travel Non-Rewards Aug 2014 (closed Oct 2014)
Diners Premier Nov 2014
Marriott Dec 2014
Hyatt Jan 2015
8, a.k.a. too many.
Chase IHG (free night pays for the AF)
Chase Marriott (free night pays for the AF)
Amex Delta (AmexOffers pays for the AF)
Amex SPG (AmexOffers pays for the AF)
Citi Prestige (Just got it today; it's supposed to be awesome)
Barclay AA
Citi AA
Chase Southwest
The bottom three are on the chopping block. Probably cancel one of the two AA cards. Possibly also the Southwest.
10:
Amex Plat
Amex SPG
BofA Alaska Air
Barclay's Arrival +
Citi HH Reserve (used to be Citi AA Exec)
Citi Premier
Citi Prestige
Diner's Elite
JPMorgan Palladium (+half AF reimbursed)
JPMorgan Ritz
Maybe will be closing Premier next year if Prestige broadens travel category to match Premier. Will most likely close Citi Hilton next year since I found that Gold Hilton status is meaningless at Waldorf Astoria's. Still waiting to see what they do with Palladium before deciding whether to close that one, too. The rest, I use too much to think of closing while I'm (or family members are) traveling so much.

Id get a Diner's Elite.
No I wouldn't.
Oh, you should. It's a nice little quiet card, other card issuers don't even know it's there. But, one bad thing is that transfers to SPG can take a long time. I like it better instant like UR, MR, and even TY is much faster.

I have a hard time splitting spend across the 3 cards I use regularly, let alone the other 6 I have! I guess what I'm asking is, are you able to earn decent rewards across all of these cards?
