You dont have Too many cards….
Easiest way to manage is align billing cycle dates of your card. that way you can pay up all CC bills just 1s in a month instead of tracking multiple dates.
Is there any way to make cc bill date same
i dont have credit cards …..just not that stupid
No … also get some cards closed 🤣
Three points I would like to make.
1. Offload all your burden of managing ‘so many’ cards to CRED. Allow email access (i.e. CRED PROTECT) for a foolproof result.
2. You don’t have “too many” cards. Trust me, its not too many.
3. The old saying that too many cards pull your credit scores down, is a MYTH. But, yes, the chances of accidental default increases with having more cards. That will definitely ruin your scores.
HDFC cards missing from your list ??
Forgot to add. Have Diner from HDFC
i have all the cards except kotak (coz they r FD based and sit anyway) and IDFC
all of them are free/ ltf/spend based free and are like weapon in my arsenal in case some offer come
the base reward rate is 4.56% till 20K (amex MRCC) and 2.58%(simplyclick )beyond it
in case any card offer is offering more then 4.56% i choose it instead
isnt it too simple
and my CIBIL stay the same just +-2 in span of a 2 year
so chill ,
but i will say if u have a one best card of each bank for future offer anticipation
like u have axis FK and ace , ace is better then FK as FK 5% can be realised just by having a SBI zero balance account and purchasing thru yono, so no need of axis fk
SBI simplyclick and AMEX MRCC is the must-have card in my opinion so get them if u dotn have it , they will easily offset most of card benefit for u
I too have many cards, a few more than you mentioned except dhani, junio and slice.
I don’t see much challenge in managing them. I use Microsoft todo for many things and all recurring bills including insurance, electricity, prop tax, credit cards and insurance are part of a group there. I rely more on it than cred because at times Amazon offers are better than cred to pay credit card bills.
What I don’t understand is that you managed rotation. What do you mean by that? I simply use cards when there are offers. I make sure to use Amex every month for that 1000 bonus points. At least acculate the money in Amazon Pay and use it on insurance.
One downside that I saw is my credit score came down by about 100 points to 7xx. The reason is low utilization of credit.
Plz let me know about the two points above.
