That really isn't a "set up", other than maybe BCE/BCP.

Hilton and Marriott don't compliment each other in any way, and "undecided" is ... I'm guessing something you don't have 

Are you asking how many Amex cards some may have?

Re: What are your 5 Amex Personal Credit Cards Setup

FWIW, my personal revolvers get hardly any spend at all. I mostly just use them for Delta/Marriott perks and to play upgrade/downgrade games. The spend is almost all on business cards and personal charge cards.

Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
SUB chasing: AA Platinum Select

Re: What are your 5 Amex Personal Credit Cards Setup

This is very much a loaded question and will vary no doubt based on individuals spend in categories and goals whether points or cash back. Personally I like cash back and I like  investing and saving. We spend the majority of our spend on groceries then utilities and then gas. 

 

The Amex cards I intend to try for this year will compliment our Schwab account. I want he Gold first because it has the best rewards points for those that spend where and how we do. After that one I will try for the Schwab platinum which will allow me to convert the MR points to cash into our Schwab account.

 

I would only go for the Amex Investor card offered maybe for the intro SUB so thats only 3 Amex cards that would make up our "setup" ymmv

AMEX CHARLES SCHWAB PLATINUM NPSL/ AMEX GOLD NPSL / AMEX GREEN NPSL/ AMEX BLUE BUSINESS PLUS $5000 SL/ FIDELITY REWARDS VISA $23,500 SL

SOCKDRAWER/ PAYPAL CREDIT LINE $1700/NFCU FLAGSHIP $40,000 CL/ NFCU MORE REWARDS $40,000/ WELLS FARGO AUTOGRAPH $8200/APPLE CARD $6500/DISCOVER IT $3000 SL/CITI COSTCO ANYWHERE VISA $6000 SL

My current Amex 5 card setup is 1 BCE card.  Looking to potentially add the Amazon Business Prime (ABP?) card in the near term.

My setup is in my signature.  I more or less chose those cards for the subs but in everyday spending each has its place depending on the situation so I think they compliment each other nicely.
