Having multiple credit cards

Have you ever wondered how many credit cards a person should have? This has always been a doubt for someone who is just getting started with credit cards. All the transactions were used in cash back then. Today people make payments in credits and at the end of the month, they clear all the money with their bank balance. This has been a very helpful feature because for those who dream about purchasing something can do it instantly and pay the remaining amount with an EMI as EMI options are also available.

Multiple credit limits

Whenever we purchase a card, we also get a credit limit along with this. Sometimes the credit limits can be huge based on how many years we are holding the card and based on the ranking of the individual too. This is one of the reasons why people purchase and hold multiple credit cards. If you don't know how to use credit cards, then it is advisable not to enter into credit card purchasing. Some people make purchases regularly and keep using the money that are from the credit limits and this is also a dangerous move.

Reward points can be different

Each card can have a special perk for someone purchasing their card. People wish to choose a bank that would be more comfortable. The reward points can be different from one card to another card. If we pick a cashback card, the rewards may not be in the form of reward points but instead based on the cashback given to them directly. Today we have all these facilities to make purchases with the reward points that we have earned.

Making use of the offers

During the special sales that are happening in the month of January, it is auspicious to purchase some new things as that is what people think. Sometimes when a sale happens in Flipkart or Amazon, there are products that can be cheaper when bought with the right offer available with a credit card. Sometimes the offer can change from one card to another card and even from one platform to another platform.

Cards shared with family members

Credit cards are applicable only to users who have a good credit score. If there is no proper financial credits to a particular account, the credit score may not look good. As this is the case, it can be sometimes hard to get a new credit card for the family members even if they apply for it. This is the reason why people choose to get additional credit cards and they make their family members use that. All the purchases made even by the family members will always be with the help of these shared cards.

It takes discipline to use a credit card, or multiple credit cards - it's easy sometimes to spend more than you earn and carry a debt over month by month with crazy interest rates.

Once caught with such debt, it is very hard to repay.

I recently switched out my main card, I was using FoldApp, a Bitcoin focused card. I use credit cards for everything, never carry cash and get a crap ton of points each year. The FoldApp was great at first, I bought a $500 Amazon gift card and got $146 in Bitcoin back (now worth like $350). Now I'm lucky if I get 0.5% Bitcoin back, they nerfed every aspect of the card and you still have to pay $100/year for the better version.

Now I'm back to my regular cards, and getting 6% back on groceries and 3% on gas, and 1% on everything else. It was fun while it lasted, but it wasn't sustainable for them which was fairly obvious at the start.

One thing to keep in mind, if you heavily use cards, be very wary of Debit cards like the FoldApp, you won't likely have the same protections as a standard credit card and at higher risk of your account being drained.

It’s really cool to have so many credit cards but will one be able to curb the habit of spending too much?
So many people may spend too much since they’ve got multiple credit cards

It takes strong discipline most of the time to use credit cards. I have been in that shoe and I must say sometimes I can't control myself leading me to over spend

Multiple card can really be a strong temptation that if not well dealt with can lead to one downfall. In fact in several occasions, it has lead many to that. I prefer to stay away from my credit card most of the time

Yeah I have seen such things too. My friends got affected during the initial days not knowing how to use credit cards.
