How many travel/ points credit cards you all hold? I have one travel and one bank. Does it makes sense to open a few just for points and benefits?

I’ve been churning cards over the last year and have found it worthwhile

like

What does churning mean

9 cards. 2 travel cards (CSR + Bilt), 2 points cards (CFU + CFF; points combine with CSR for travel), 5 cash back cards.

Look into churning if you want to get super lucrative. Start with Chase cards if you want any, given their 5/24 rule.

like

Chase only allows new cards if you are under 5 cards (from any issuer; most business cards are excluded) in the last 24 months. They have great cards, with the Sapphire bonuses being churnable every 48 months, so it's recommended to open Chase cards first.

like

CSR, Amex Plat, Amex Gold, Bilt, Chase Freedom Unlimited.

Bilt only for rent. Amex Plat is basically just a coupon book (I use I primarily for Delta lounge access, but the credits for Uber, D+/NYT/Peacock, Walmart+, etc. more than cover the annual fee). Gold I use for restaurants and grocery stores (this is probably the least useful card in the toolkit, but it’s also my longest line of credit, so I feel it’s somewhat justified, especially with the Corporate Advantage discount). CSR for travel-related things. Freedom Unlimited for everything else.

like

CSR, CFU, CIBC, CIBU, United Explorer, Bilt, Hilton Honors, WF Active Cash, WF Platinum, WF Cash Wise

If you travel and understand points, the more cards the merrier. If you’re new to points or really don’t travel at all, I’d suggest starting out with a great foundational card like an Amex Plat, chase Sapphire, or capital one venture x

I have the Cap1 VX, CSP, CFU, CF, CF Flex, Amex Gold, Amex Everyday, Amazon Amex Business, Discover It, BofA 1.5% card

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx
