    Egg Money - Used to earn cashback on everyday spending.

    Halifax All In One card - Opened for 0% on purchases, and kept because it's got the highest credit limit I've had for quite a while. I've just asked Halifax to change it to a Clarity Reward card, so it can be used to replace the Egg card if (when!) Barclays cut the cashback.

    American Express - Opened ages ago for cashback and Quidco money. Not used for a while, so I must find the PIN and use it again before they charge me an inactivity fee.
  • Nat West - 0% til Jan 12 £3500

    HSBC - Pay this one in full

    Smile - Pay this in full too

    Just closed Capital One
    I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...

    Just the one, Santander Zero. I mainly keep it for when Im travelling, but make a few purchases each month then pay it off in full to keep it active.

    Halifax clarity as my main one now, including spending abroad.

    Natwest as it was my first one, reluctant to close even though it's not used as it has my longest history.
    Excuse any mis-spelt replies, there's probably a cat sat on the keyboard

  • Don't have any!

    Used to have two, but paid them off and closed them.

    It's too tempting for me as I would spend spend spend!
