Hey guys,
With all the rage these days being deals associated with certain credit cards, I wanted to ask a potentially "dumb" question (ya ya ya there is no such thing as a dumb question…)
Is there a disadvantage to holding multiple credit cards? Assuming they have no annual fees, why not hold a citibank, AMEX, 28degrees, etc.?
I'm not one at risk of over spending if I have multiple credit cards to get around limits, so this does not apply to me, but may be a disadvantage for others. I'm talking more along the lines of credit ratings, etc.
Does anyone have any advice on this? Does the problem cumulate with multiple bank accounts as well (i.e. ING, MEBank, UBank)?
Thanks!
If you need to get a loan from a bank (house etc.), they see each card as a liability, hence less they will loan you.
Though I suppose you could always cancel the cards before then.
