It's December!!! Thanksgiving is over and now everyone's eyes have turned to Christmas. I've got the house all decorated and my shopping mostly done so now I just have to wrap presents and prepare for the three weeks that Froot Loop has off of school! So anyway, it's Monday, which means Quickie Questions here on the blog, where I ask y'all a question to get you talking in the comments. This week's question:

How many credit cards do you have?

None! He last one I had was ripped apart- I hate credit cards lol x

I am impressed!

I only have one credit card but I have never used it. It’s more of a emergency fund type of thing.

That's awesome!

None atm!

Mama Writes Reviews - December 4, 2017 11:44 AM

Excellent!

Tiara - December 4, 2017 12:14 PM

Originally, none. But we're now on the journey of buying a house and have no credit history, so that backfired lol. We now have 3 between my husband and 1.

Mama Writes Reviews - December 4, 2017 1:33 PM

Yeah, that's about what I have, for a similar scenario.

Technically I have 5 open right now, but I only use 2. The others I just opened for the promos (airline miles or cash bonuses) and won't use again. I use two because one gets the best rewards, but it's AmEx and not every business accepts it so I have a Visa as a backup. I have excellent credit and love to maximize my credit card rewards. I almost never pay for a flight because of them and also get at least a few thousand in cash back every year :)

That's great to use your credit cards to get rewards. One of mine has a great cash back option!

Oh, dear - I don't know? (most of them are old cards locked up in the safe that I don't use anymore, incl several from now-bankrupt store chains lol...)

Mama Writes Reviews - December 4, 2017 1:34 PM

Ha. Yeah, I have a few cards from stores that don't exist anymore too.

mjchristine - December 4, 2017 1:32 PM

A lot but we only used 1 and everyone in the family from mom and dad and sibs have their own card in the same bank.

Mama Writes Reviews - December 4, 2017 1:34 PM

I only use 1 too.

Belle - December 4, 2017 1:39 PM

I have a lot. We're looking to buying a house in the future and having to migrate here in the US a few years ago, I didn't have any credit history so I'm trying to build that.

It's a good way to build credit. Good luck to you!

Erin @LovePeaceBeauty - December 4, 2017 1:45 PM

I have one credit card! :)

Mama Writes Reviews - December 5, 2017 7:42 PM

I have one I use as well.

Margaret - December 4, 2017 1:48 PM

I have 3 credit cards at the moment. I do like that one of my credit cards gives me lots of travel rewards.

Mama Writes Reviews - December 5, 2017 7:43 PM

Yes, the card I use gives me a decent amount of cash back!

Leslie - December 4, 2017 1:50 PM

Three but it's all about the points and perks that each have. They get paid off at the end of each month.

Mama Writes Reviews - December 5, 2017 7:43 PM

Great! I'm glad to hear that.

Maryann Lowden - December 4, 2017 5:42 PM

Only One Credit Card and I pay it off each month

Mama Writes Reviews - December 5, 2017 7:44 PM

So glad to hear that!

Abby Darlington - December 4, 2017 6:07 PM

I have two in my name. My husband is in the finance industry so he's all about 'a dollar today vs. a dollar tomorrow' ... if it were up to me I would just use my debit card for everything but he insists that you're throwing away free money that way. ha! Different mindsets I guess.

Mama Writes Reviews - December 5, 2017 7:44 PM

Yep, one of the joys of marriage!

Brooke - December 4, 2017 7:34 PM

Only one! For being a shopohilic that I am, I’m surprisingly good at maintaining my credit balance ahaha
