Credit cards

I’m a rising senior and entering consulting full time. I won’t be traveling crazy amounts so I’ve crossed off cards like Amex platinum. Main post-tax expenses are gonna be rent and eating/drinks. Thoughts on the best credit cards?

I have the amex gold and platinum combo and it’s amazing. I don’t think I could give up the airport lounge or clear credit.

You could almost go without another card with these two if Amex cards were accepted everywhere. I also carry the Apple Card since it’s a Mastercard and 99% of places that don’t take Amex will take Mastercard. The titanium card is neat anyway.
