How many credit card should one hold on?

Should one hold on to 3 credit card mainly for 4 reasons below:

1) Transport (eg. Bus, MRT and Grab) - OCBC 365 & POSB EVERYDAY Credit Card

2) Groceries and Dining - OCBC 365 & POSB EVERYDAY Credit Card

3) Telco and Utility Bills - OCBC 365 & POSB EVERYDAY Credit Card

4) Big Items (eg. TV, Aircon, Refrigerator and etc) - SC Smart Credit Card

I have 3 credit cards currently:

  1. OCBC 365 - for bills, dining
  2. Citi rewards - for online shopping
  3. SC simply cash - for large transactions

Answer is the lesser the merrier. Lesser chance of being scammed and unknowingly paying for the annual fees. Tons of time wasted monitoring your bills.

Depends on

  • one's spending
  • the potential rewards
  • number of cards is manageable

I am holding on to 3 CCs currently: POSB EVERYDAY, OCBC FRANK and TRUST Bank.

POSB EVERYDAY: Pay telco bills, online shopping at Lazada and Shopee

OCBC Frank: Subscriptions

TRUST: For grocery shopping at Fairprice supermarket and Unity.

There isn't a hard and fast rule as to how many CCs you can have, as long as you can manage them well and pay the bills punctually.
