  • How many credit cards do you have?

    Time to fess up - how many credit cards do you have?

    I have 6 in total although I don't use 3 of them anymore.

    I only have 2 now, but there was a time when I had over 15!

      I have 3 master cards that I use for the rewards points, a Sears card and a Kohls card. Anything I charge I pay off right away...

        I have 2 credit cards and 2 store cards. I only use one of each, and I pay off everything every month.

          I have 8

          I occassionally get a new one when there's a good signup bonus. The last good one was the Charles Schwab VISA that gave away a $150 VISA gift card on signup and use.

          I mostly just use the one that has the best cash back (Citi Dividend M/C). I don't usually carry a balance.

            Three total. This is the most I've ever had at one time.

              I have one...that before I got laid off never carried a balance. It was mainly used for gas...a easy way for me to keep track of my gas spending when I drove 100 miles a day for work.

                We have one cc that is only used when we can't use a debit card.

                  2 credit cards and 4 store cards. $0 balance on all. I was told not to cancel them and I occassionally use one of the credit cards. I do use the store cards sometimes if they are giving a decent reduction in purchase prices!

                    1 cc, 1 as an additional user, 1 store card and, apparenty, a gas company card. I didn't know about the gas company card, I remember getting it in college but never used it and I'm sure I tried to cancel it. It doesn't show a balance so now I'm not sure what to do about it.

                    Right now there is no balance on any of them, but I use them for the rewards points.

                      A billion but only one in use at any given time (the one with the lowest rate), not something I am happy about, but not my pick. (all but two were here before I got married)

                          I have one that I use for virtually every purchase.

                            We only have 1 and that's a Lowes card. We've had it for years but not had a balance on it for a long time until Feb when we used it to get a riding lawnmower on their No Payments, No interest for 12 months. We're paying it off in Feb

                              I have one credit card and I use it for everything, even the cable and internet bill. I pay it off in full every month and the bill is never less than $900.
