    I have four CCs, I pay them off every month, though. :)

    Just two - Egg Money for everyday use/cashback, and an HSBC Mastercard for back-up.
  • One, with a 3k limit.

    ...can I ask how you go about getting a repeat deal? I can't exactly see the argument to make... since they aren't getting any £ from me why would they keep me on IYSWIM...what exactly do you say when you phone up?
    Whilst it relates to getting a second bite of the BT cherry, you may find this article useful...

    Would love to keep M&S on the go till I get things sorted...
    I've never heard of M&S giving a retention deal on 0% for purchases. They used to offer 0% on BT retention deals but I've been told twice recently that they've now stopped doing those. See here...

    I have 3 credit cards and two debit ones:

    Trusty Visa Debit card........
    Trusty Visa Business Debit Card..........
    Egg Money - £923 - 7.9% - Use it for cashback
    Lloyds Mastercard - £1200 - 0% - Borrow on it for the 0%
    Amex - £100 - 12.3% - Have it because its an Amex and only every use it for nights out, restaurants, hotels etc etc

    I think 5 cards is about normal for most people with a healthy credit rating. Like Martin says different cards different uses....

    I have 4:

    1 - Capital One with £200 limit (only fairly recent solely to 'rebuild' credit score)
    2 - Halifax Platinum - £790 (was £13K at it's worst. GULP!)
    3 - RBoS Platinum - £1800
    4 - Sainsburys Platinum - £2000
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Do bear in mind that the OP is a reported spammer and probably somewhere in the United States (indeed the cards he mentions are not even available in the UK!).
