In reply to the discussion: How many credit cards do you have? [View all]Raftergirl
(1,294 posts)41. I have two and my H has two.
We dont carry balances on any of them.
Havent checked credit score since last summer when leased a new car. Both are in the 800s.
I put everything on one of my cards that I get miles. Even for very expensive items like a whole house generator. Then I immediately pay the bill in full. Since the start of the pandemic Ive had just over $100k in charges. Now, if only I felt safe to fly anywhere.
