None. Don't use credit as a crutch, don't fall for their "points" or "cash back" games which just push you to spend more. Pay in cash (debit card).

AMEX Platinum would be sweet, but that $700 anal fee sucks.

The only thing I'm worried about with the Amex is if they douche around with what falls under certain categories. I.e. if my fav grocery store doesn't fall under "supermarkets" for some lame reason. Some cards are like that.
I know one of the categories is "online retail" so there's plenty of opportunity to get hosed on that

I have too many. Keep most of them in the drawer, and dont want to cancel due to 7+ years of flawless payment history.
I keep 3 in my wallet, which is probably still too many.
Main is my costco Citi Visa
The other two are
Citi Doublecash MC (2% rewards)
Discover IT (1% rewards)
All three FICO scores "kissing" 820.

I was never really impressed with any of the Amex cards. First off we're pretty frugal so they'd be useless to us especially given the annual fees, but even if we were big spenders I really don't see anything impressive about the reward categories for the platinum or gold.
It's also pretty lulzy that the "mogger" platinum card includes a monthly credit for a Walmart Plus subscription

The way I view it… Amex brokies can't afford to have $100k in a BofA account so they have to settle for the next best thing

Amex gold. I spend the most on dining and groceries, so it works well for me. Don't travel enough to justify a platinum card. Then I have an Amex Blue Cash with $30k limit that I never use for the heck of it. Then a Capital One Venture card for the 0% foreign transaction fees just in case I'm out of the country and they don't take amex.
Brb will continue to use Amex and keep that $100k invested and come out way ahead of you lmfao

Amex is for poor people who want to appear rich lol
BofA preferred rewards > Amex (only need $100k in BofA accounts to qualify for platinum plus honors)
5.25% back on online purchases, gas, travel, dining
3.5% back at grocery stores
2.63% back on all other purchases
You see the card on the right, you know that person is a real mogger

I'll make a simple bargain with the Amex brahs ITT:
If you have an Amex Black Card , you can be considered a mogger
If you have an entry-level Amex card (Platinum, or even worse the GOLD which is peasant-status), then the BofA Black Card mogs the Amex card in addition to receiving better cash back rewards. You cannot be considered a mogger if you have the Amex Platinum Coupon Book

Amex Black card is mogger status, but that's all it is, a status symbol. The card itself absolutely blows.

I used to have an AMEX even more exclusive than the Black card. You snooty rich people can't even get this card.
This is the Optima card and the very strict conditions for which you can get this card is a secret that you'll never be able to figure out.

I have a ton. Mostly chase cards both business and personal since I use those points to transfer to Hyatt. A few cards for the benefits like the Hilton aspire and Amex platinum. A few hotel cards for hotel spend. I travel a bunch so it makes sense. I’ve recently taken advantage of some big signup bonuses.
LOL that people that don’t use credit cards. Just don’t be an irresponsible idiot and pay them off every month.
