I have the Chase Reserve and want to get rid of my SPG Amex because I don’t use it. Any reason to get the Chase Freedom as a back-up card/replacement? Any perks to keeping the Amex?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under).

Should I just suck it up in order to be a homeowner?
