Capital One Quicksilver for 1.5% on general spend and/or Citi Double Cash for 2% on general spend (plus Equifax FICO score)
Chase Amazon Rewards for 3% on Amazon purchases
Barclay Ring for emergency expenses (plus TransUnion FICO score)

Hmm, interesting...
Never thought of a low interest credit card for "emergencies."
Would you be concerned of Barclay's closing the card down for lack of usage?
Right now:
Amex PRG 2x Restaurants, 2x Gas, 2x Supermarkets (Also on my ED card)
If traveling on Delta, then my Delta Card
Discover for 5% categories
NFCU Cash rewards for General spend
Soon:
Citi Costco Anywhere
4% gas, 3% Restaurants... Its going to be interesting to see if this takes over as my go to card.

I set up a small recurring monthly charge on the Ring so it will always show some activity. That should prevent them from closing it. I also like that it's a MasterCard, so I can use it as a backup if I go somewhere that doesn't accept Visa. And I really like being able to see my FICO score from them.
The card also has an interesting community premise, but their forums are dead compared to here. *shrug*
