What if......

[Anonymous]

Thanks to an awesome suggestion from Revelate - 

Let's say some federal law went into effect regarding Credit Cards - and the new federal law said immediately you can only have 3 major credit cards open and the rest must be cancelled immediately or face the guillotine, what card would you keep. Forget the store cards, just the majors. If your decision is made on your credit limit, that's fine too. Just what 3 would  you keep. And, let's just keep it simple and don't over-think it.

Also, please - this is to be non-political. Never meant it to be anything else other than the 3 cards.

I'd keep:

Sallie Mae

Discover

Quicksilver

IHG, Discover, Alaska airlines (because I can fly on AA with my miles and it comes with a companion pass) lol.

For me I think it would have to be Amex BCP, Discover, and Double Cash.

Would simlpy move countries where such law doesn't exist as less gov't is better.  Not getting political here, but wouldn't happen or at least with me.

You have to give the parameters. Do you mean that we weigh our current CL into the equation? Or not? Is it strictly based on the features of the card, or the useability given our current CL?

I think I would keep it simple and go straight cash back:

- Sallie Mae

- Discover

- Double Cash

If you are an AU on someone else's three cards, do those cards count in your three?

Are merchants forced to accept AMEX on penalty of death?

Just keep it simple, don't over-think it. Just a fun little message thread on a Sunday night as we wind down from the weekend.
