Right now my Discover, it has my largest CL.
I use my Freedom & Discover the most. The freedom for my $200 cash back for spending $500 ( I spent $600 as of yesterday, so I will be getting that $200 cash back, woohoo!). My discover gets used a lot for the restaurants & movies for Q1 categories. I will probably used Discover once during Q2 for some paint/ supplies.

Typically, I just choose a card that gives me 5% cash back, and when that doesn't work, I use the Priceline for 2%. So, I don't usually use the Priceline very much.
You must really love blue credit cards!
Amex BC. Put nearly everything on it and spend a lot on gas/groceries so the rewards add up.
If the spending falls under bonus categories (such as 5% for the Cash+, Freedom etc), I'll use those cards.
For misc. general spend, I'm currently using my AA Executive card (have to spend 1k more to meet minimum spend). Once that is done, I'll mostly be using Palladium (until I reach 100k in spend, then CSP thereafter) or Amex SPG. I do use some other cards such as the Prestige once in a while such as for flights, but not much overall.

I'm gonna hammer my Discover in Q2.
Momma wants a new kitchen and new doors & trim through out our condo this summer.
I've been using my Amex Platinum and two Citi AA WEMCs to meet the spend. Once that is up, back to my Fidelity 2% Amex as my primary and Amex Platinum for all electronic purchases.
My card spending is a bit skewed because of the multiple sign-up bonuses I have to meet, but in general:
BCP (Safeway/groceries), Discover (restauraunts now, Freedom next month), Car rental/plane tickets (CSP)
In general, I spend more with my BCP now.
BCP - for all grocery shopping. Also BofA Cash Rewards, for most other stuff, since I have no interest till 12/14. I do keep the balance on that paid down though. I use the Chase United Club for any United purchases, and the CSP for other travel-related spend, such as taxis or other airlines.

I just like the best cash back cards (excepting the BCE, and since thats an Amex card, and they gave me their lowest APR, and they eventually gave me a high credit limit, I think I'll keep that for a while...).
I've only been applying for non-secure cards for a year now (all those cards are from 2013), so i haven't started obtaining the less useful colors yet.
