What is your credit card limit? (Of all your credit cards combined)

  1. How many credit cards do you have?

  2. What is the total credit card limit of all your credit cards combined?

  3. What is your credit score?

  4. How much debt do you have on your credit cards?

  5. What is your favorite credit card and why?

 

Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, discussions around credit cards often focus on strategies for maximizing rewards, churning credit cards, and managing credit effectively. However, specific personal financial details such as the number of credit cards someone has, their total credit limit, credit score, amount of debt, or favorite credit card and the reasons for it are not disclosed in the context provided. Therefore, I can't share personal details like the number of credit cards I have or my total credit limit.

If you're looking for advice on managing credit cards, maximizing rewards, or improving your credit score, I'd recommend exploring strategies such as paying balances in full to avoid interest, using cards that offer the best rewards for your spending habits, and keeping an eye on your credit utilization ratio to maintain a good credit score.

Why do you carry the debt? Are you at 0% interest? Not judging you or asking about your financial situation, but I'm genuinely curious to know. 

I spend $5-6K per month on credit cards and pay it off every month, but last month spent more.

  1. How many credit cards do you have? 11 but I'm looking to cancel 3 this year and get down to 8 if not less. I don't need anywhere near this many. 

  2. What is the total credit card limit of all your credit cards combined? $250,000-$275,000 or something. 

  3. What is your credit score? Varies 775-825

  4. How much debt do you have on your credit cards? $5,000 at the moment, but only because of a long weekend in NYC. I try to pay it off every month, but if I carry a little month to month I don't stress too much. 

  5. What is your favorite credit card and why? Delta Reserve - Free flights, status through spend, lounge access, first class companion pass 

Maybe 5-6 or so years ago I got really into the credit card game, reading sites like thepointsguy and trying to absolutely maximize my points earnings and redemptions. It worked out really well for a while, and lead to some cool free vacations, but eventually it got more exhausting than anything keeping up with it all. There was a while there that I was only making $125k a year and had a $300,000+ total credit limit, which I feel probably shouldn't happen, but luckily I was never tempted to ruin my life or anything and now I don't really worry about it. Oddly enough, one of my goals for this year is to cancel a good number of them, but then I just signed up for a new one a month ago before a big purchase to get the signup bonus so I suppose old habits die hard.

  1. Six active cards at this time. Definitely have some more floating around in my drawer that I haven't canceled, no reason to. One of those cards is for a joint account, one is corporate so not sure if it counts. 
  2. Technically nothing, since both Amex's are charge cards? In all seriousness my wife and I's combined limit(s) are in the ballpark of $150-200K.
  3. 841 as of my last check which was like yesterday. Still, an insane number to read out loud coming from a former 450-club member. Took me so long to work off my debt and build my score up - you all can play life on an easier mode than I did! Taught me a lot, though. 
  4. Think we're at around $17,000 right now since none of the statements have been posted for the month. Rent and day-to-day items are only a bit - took a work trip last week and won't get reimbursed for expenses for a bit. Should probably fill out those forms, thanks for reminding me!
  5. Same as @CRE, big fan of my Delta Amex. Fly often for work (and more recently for leisure!), and unless it's just not economical then they're my go-to airline. Really nice getting the points higher and building up a rapport with them. Lounges are great too - the Centurion has become way too saturated recently IMO, and I honestly think Sky Club lounges beat the former ten times over. I'm also a former avid player of the credit card points game but have found that I've eased off a little. If I can find deals I absolutely will, but crunching every last possible number sometimes just isn't worth the time.

Any advice to improve credit? Mines been around the same for years 

Credit is a dumb system that rewards usage, not responsibility. You have to actually have credit cards, long term debt like a mortgage or a car loan, etc. in order to build it up. You can't just pay your bills every month with your bank account and pay off your loans because the credit system doesn't like that.

  5. What is your favorite credit card and why? Depends on what I'm doing, CapOne gets me 1.5% on all transactions and 3-5% on select retail and Gas stations and bars/restaurants, honestly Amex for travel, Chase Amazon card for Amazon and Whole foods 

 

I guess I have fewer credit cards than the WSO average...

  1. How many credit cards do you have? 3

  2. What is the total credit card limit of all your credit cards combined? $35k. Spread my spending by category across my cards to maximize points, have never gotten close to my limit.

  3. What is your credit score? ~780

  4. How much debt do you have on your credit cards? ~7k right now due to paying my yearly car insurance bill last month. I pay CCs in full every month.

  5. What is your favorite credit card and why? Freedom for the points categories. Would love to get some metal card for the prefstige but don't travel enough or do anything that justifies or covers the yearly fee.

 

 Metal cards don't give the prestige they once did, everyone killed that giving crappy cards metal so people thought they were cool. It's a shame, yes Chase and Amex metal are nice and the OG's but now the Amazon Prime Chase card is metal, Cap One has a venture card that's metal and better yet The Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs is metal and now has one of the highest delinquency rates of any card lol. 

But yea the Amex and Chase are still nice!
