How many credit cards do you own?
Another thread got me thinking about this.
I have only ever owned one.....a MasterCard that I've had since 1984. Not sure what the limit is without looking but i'm quite certain I could buy a new car on it. A friend of mine has a wallet about 4 inches thick with every card you could imagine in it. Don't know why. Gas cards, Home depot, Visa, MC, AmEx, etc, etc. How many do you carry?

Used to have around 15. Now down to 2 Amex cards. One business card with no limit, and one personal Reserve card. Annual fees on the 2 cards are $1,000, but I get a ton of benefits out them, so they pay for themselves.

One Corporate and two personal. Plus one debit. All are Visa. I need options when I travel in case one gets declined due to a computer glitch, it happens once in a while, especially when you're overseas.

I se a mastercard debit card that pulls from the checking, and then a Visa with a high limit, but no balance. I use the debit card for gas, groceries, and normal everyday stuff, and the visa for travel, large purchases.

American World Elite MasterCard, a Chase Freedom Visa, and just opened a Carson's card when buying a bunch of furniture for our new house so we could save an extra 20%. May close it soon.
Always on the lookout for a high initial reward so I can sign up for another card. |

I'm not a big spender, so just one... a Chase Veeza. I think that's how you spell it.

I have two...an Amex with no limit and a VISA. The same two credit cards I've held for 29 years. Keep a zero balance every month.
I have neighbors and a sister paying for 2014 in 2015 at 16% due to an inability to avoid credit cards. Scary. |

1 Credit Card, 1 Debit card for backup on a spare acount, 1 corporate card for corporate expenses.
I think people with more than a couple personal cards have credit issues, as the only reason to get more is to get more credit or "deals". As you see on the other thread I am hesitant even adding a second card. G |
