I have 4 cards total and use them all about once a month to keep them alive.
At this point I have no favorite card.
I do need to add a store card for a better mix and I was thinking of trying for the Best Buy card but am not sure. Honestly.......... I don't want or need anymore cards I don't like to use credit but I know it's a neccessary evil.
I'm old school, I save up for what I want. Growing up my family went from being very wealthy to dirt poor and the habits I picked up (being poor) are very hard to give up.

- Have two Cards
- Use only one of them on a continual basis
- BOA (BankAmericard) Limit $41K
- BOA (Visa Signature Card) Limit $10k
- Both cards active
- Have no favorite Bank Americard gives me 1.5 pts per dollar spent Visa Signature gives me 1 for 1
- Visa Signature gives me more perks and is more exclusive but then the down fall is the no preset spending limit
I am jealous of your total credit limit or $51K. My total is $14,570!
