I would advocate only using one card at a time as well. Otherwise the due dates and other details are harder to manage.<BR/><BR/>For instance, I recently switched from a rewards card with cash back to my United card. For some this might not make sense, but since I have Premier status due to all of my work travel, I earn points at a much faster rate on United than I would by cash back. We also travel enough, given that our families live on the west coast, that it helps to have the awards travel pay for this.<BR/><BR/>Once I have almost had my card for a year, I will call to talk my way out of a fee. If I can't do so, then I will cancel and get another United card from another bank with the bonus miles. Hope this is making sense.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!<BR/><BR/>MielJames &amp; Mielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04648586816512955888noreply@blogger.com
