Looking for guidance from this group on my current Credit Cards and if I should close/re-open any based on 2024 sign-up bonuses. I haven't signed up for a card in over 5 years, so I don't anticipate any restrictions from a particular bank, etc.

My current cards are as follows:

Chase Sapphire Reserve
AMEX Platinum Corporate
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless (VISA)
Marriott Bonvoy (AMEX)
SW Airlines Premier
United Airlines Explorer

Appreciate anyone's thoughts!

I would downgrade cards before closing as closing will impact your credit score.

Came here to say the same. For example, if I’m planning to go for the Sapphire preferred (based on feedback above) I might try to downgrade CSR to a freedom or freedom flex (neither has a very strong welcome bonus) and then apply for the sapphire preferred card when they elevate their bonus.

Corporate cards only earn 1x on all purchases right? If you’re paying the fee that’s the first one I’d get rid of.

I keep my Marriott cards for the free night certificates, more than covers the fee.

Untied card is helpful for free bags and priority boarding. Can often get food discount at untied hubs too. Lounge certificates usually make it worth it too.

Southwest I don’t know much about but given their boarding and free bag policy can’t imagine many benefits.

Unless you’re gonna use the new Chase lounges a lot I’d drop the Reserve. If you wanna keep a Chase portfolio of points I’d switch to the sapphire preferred and look at their great no fee cards.

I recommend picking one of the Amex, Chase, Cap1 and building out their portfolio of cards for a solid strategy.

If you want an expert strategy you can start building out cards across the three to diversify your portfolio
