Re: Short & Sweet. What’s your #2 2019 credit card goal? Let’s assume gardening is #1.

Awesome goal @kilroy

The best advice I received at a cookout when I was contemplating retiring—payoff debt, which I did. No credit card debt, no vehicle debt, no loans.

I prescribe it. Life is good!

2019 for me is all about combining limits and closing unneeded cards. Starting with the 11 AMEX cards I have which I will cut down to 5. I have 4 other cards on the chopping block as well. Hopefully I'm able to chop all 10 of them by Dec 2019. Smiley Happy

My biggest goal is to open a specific new card in January - it's a secret cuz I don't want other people jacking my idea and potentially getting the institution to close that door. But I'll post in the forum *when* I'm approved Smiley Wink. I'll be apping in January so I should know relatively soon.

My other main goal is to open a new Amex platinum, hopefully I can tag the 100k bonus on the vanilla one. Might open another Amex cc, probably the Hilton honors no fee card or if not then the everyday no fee card.

Other than that, keep everything paid off and don't get any accounts closed rofl.

Garden of course ( this ones sooo hard LOL)

I am going to try and consolidate some cards ( NFCU and Penfed) and get rid of some others (mainly store cards), so I only have a couple of credit cards overall.

For the love of god wait for AMEX for a CLI on any of my cards lol

It's not really a goal, but both of my kiddos will be driving by the next spring, so I guess instead of a goal, I see two car loans in the near future

LOL. I did try, in fact. I applied for 2 business cards back to back, but one got denied. Sir Barclays wasn't too fond of the 11 new accounts I got this year Smiley Very Happy

Maximize cash and points back while not adding debt. It feels good to pay for stuff with rewards in December or for treating myself. Of course, stay in the garden!!!
