I got that Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Just over a year prior to applying I had a 0 credit rating. They gave me a $25000 limit lol. Have been using it for 100% of my purchases since December and with the sign on bonus I have like $1800 in flight credit sitting in my account.
So most people are just stacking to get the bonus to cover expenses on said card but artificially
Like say you have 5 cards, to hit certain cash back or rewards points you need to bulk up the card enough
So you are literally trading in your cash into a digital medium but with getting a free bonus behind it
Buy $200 worth of pre-paid cards on all 5 cards from mall/store
So you spent $1000 in total
Bills come in
Now use those same $1000 worth of pre-paid cards to pay off those bills
You don't lose out anything and earn bonus
Cycle again
Bonus keeps getting triggered and by the end of the year you have a nice chunk of bonus to use
Hell I've had amazon rewards card for roughly for 3+ years and have $150 to use up
This is me not doing what these millennial dare, just regular shopping
I'm guessing those over 10+ cards have a huge friends network that they abuse to get those bonuses to trigger
Like I'll get the tab or pay the bill with my card, just pay me back or give me the money etc.
Others are just gaming the system which is legal and just hitting the right bonuses and keep moving onto the next one
What is considered too high as far as limits go? I have two cards and one has a limit of $17,500, which I think is too much. I've only ever put like 4g on that card.

Oh so there is a method to beat the house?

Congrats. You are overpaying for everything.
I have one CC with a credit limit of $1500. Thank god Australia doesn't do that stupid credit rating crap America does.
Credit card companies take a cut of all sales. By pushing sales to credit cards you are decreasing the amount the retailer is taking, so effectively the price needs to go up.
Congrats on pushing up the sticker price to earn rewards. All you are doing is taxing yourself/others to get it back on rewards.
Damn money bags.
I own none, I bet my credit is not good because of it.
If you ever want to buy a house you should look into it
My score is above 700+ and I'm an undocumented immigrant
Credit cards do help
Just pay on time
Don't make crazy purchases (duh!)
Always buy 50% of cash you know you have to cover as credit and build it up
Mortgage, car and house loans will be looking for this
Shit I have money in checking account that I can just buy instantly as debit, but why not as credit, see it being posted, get due date, and pay it off maybe a day after posting and net a bonus on top of that
Both my credit cards were gotten through amazon
There was a bonus of $75 for amazon rewards card credit, if you bought I think $150 worth and paid it off on time within a 3 month time limit
Then 3% shop with points, 5% if your a prime member
Then the Discover It card had a $70 cash back bonus if you used their card at amazon and paid bill on time
I already buy stuff from amazon monthly for family and me
So it's worth it
Build credit, get early bonus and then reward/bonus on every purchase
I mean $145 gotten to open 2 cards and have $150 on 1 Card is not that bad
