How many credit cards do you guys carry with you daily?

I carry 4 credit cards on me at all times. These cards are Amex Gold, Venture, Citi Premier and Savor. All of these cards pretty much cover all of the purchases I make.

I also carry a debit card that I rarely use but I just like having one in the event I need to get cash out for an emergency.

How many do you carry?

Mine changes every now and again, but currently in my wallet:

  • Amex Platinum - just in case someone happens to see it and gets impressed I need the buying power or purchase protection
  • Amex Gold - food
  • Chase Sapphire Reserve - travel and "we don't accept Amex because the fees are too high" (so we'll take your Visa Infinite card that likely has higher fees)
  • Citi Premier - entertainment and paying for parking when the machines don't take Amex and the CSR isn't bendy enough to work in the machine
  • Delta Reserve - everything else*
  • Bank of America Premium Rewards - backup
  • Amex SPG Luxury - because I can't bring myself to take it out of my wallet

*Using US Bank Altitude Reserve wherever I can use Apple Pay for 3x and to hit SUB spend.

*Chase Pay currently used for fuel with Freedom card.  Paying for gas has never been so easy.  I hit Pay, type in the pump number, and it gives me a 3 digit code to enter into the pump that handles the payment AND Fuel Rewards loyalty account.

I have been carrying around 5 cards with me these days, some quarters i carry only 4 if i don’t need to use my CF for 5x categories. Use my gold for restaurants and grocery stores, citi TYP for gas, CFU for non category spend. Ink cash for restaurants that don’t take Amex and for 5x at staples. This quarter have had CF in my wallet for costco runs.
