The deets
To be perfectly honest, we “slowed” down with credit card applications in 2019/2020. But there were just way too many great cards to pass up in 2021, and I’m not one to really track every single one of them. I just go with which card I believe works with our strategy, which cards have min spend that I know we could meet easily.
Many of my peers do more, or apply for more cards. Remember, it’s not about keeping up with your peers. It’s not about the SHINY CARD SYNDROME.
