Talk about pissing money away!   |
Dayum!
I don't know how many cards I've got (some old department store cards (never use), Home Depot, Lowes, and a gas card or two)....they all stay in the safe with the exception of three. I also have daily credit monitoring - good credit is worth protecting.
1. AMEX - Delta SkyMiles We buy
everything on this card. Pay off at end of month.
2. Mercedes-Benz Visa - In case a store doesn't take AMEX. I charge less than $100/mo so it's paid off too.
3. (Business) Visa - for business trips and expenses - paid off monthly.
