I have 6. All of them are active.

2, with statement dates 15 days apart. By using the right card at the right time of the month I can get at least 45 days interest free. Pay each of them off in full every month.

3 in use:
Halifax Clarity for the first £300/month to get £5 reward and foreign use
MBNA Amex for supermarket & petrol - 1.5% cashback
Capital One World for everything else - 1% cashback

Backup for foreign use
Santander Zero used occasionally to avoid dormancy fees and keep it "alive" as backup for foreign use
