The rest of my life?

 

My needs change, and issuers can't seem to go more than a few months without making some not-insignificant tweaks, anyway.

 

The rest of the year? Probably CSR+SchwabPlat.

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: IF IF you could only carry TWO cards for the rest of your life

I love my Discover It Cash Back card so I would definitely choose it. The second would have to be an Amex card. I haven’t been approved for one yet but one day I hope I will be.

If you could only have 1-2 cards what would they be ?

So I've done all the churning stuff over the past few years and I just dont feel like doing it anymore. Ive had all the amex cards and chase cards.

 

Currently have a Chase FU / NFCU CR / USAA Visa / Amex ED .. Thinking about cancelling some of them. Really just want 2 cards maybe 3.

 

I am going to apply for a Amex green since I can still get the SUB and then hope for upgrade offers. I definitely want the gold or platinum again but dont want to get it without a SUB. I was looking at the Alliant card that gives 3% first year and 2.5% after. Is this the best cb card out there? Anything special you need to get it or just be an Alliant CU member ?

Re: If you could only have 1-2 cards what would they be ?

Ive reached my peak with my average good looks, below average income, and subpar credit profile,.If Experian credit card recommendations are to be believed, my only recourse is to fulfill my destiny and get me a Credit One Nascar card and Primor card. Its always been my dream to have the fastest card on the market and nothing swipes better or faster than my 1% cashback cardSmiley Happy. Im also looking to get the Blaze card , well just because i wanna say " Just Blaze!"Smiley Happy

Re: If you could only have 1-2 cards what would they be ?

I don't think I would ever feel good about only having 1 or 2 cards.   BUT  If I had to only have 2....

 

Discover for the cash back(and the customer service) and a Credit union MC or V card with a low rate.

 

If you let me get a third - Amex Gold.

 

If I get a fourth - ok ok ok   I could keep going.....   Ince I get to 6 I feel like I can breathe.

 

Stay Liquid My Friends...
