14 CC ??? omg. why u want to keep so many cards? can ur wallet keep all these card?
I only keep 2 CC in my wallet. one is visa and another one is master. That's all. Last time I apply a Maybank Master card, they sent me 3 cards (master,visa,amex). I straight away email them to cancel 2 of them.
*
these is my card:

AMEX = 1 - nvr use
Diners = 1 - nvr use
RHB = 2 (Evo and Visa) - nvr use
Maybank = 1 (AMEX Gold credit card) - use once a while
Citibank = 2 (Master Clear card and Visa clear card) - use regularly
HSBC = 2 (Master Gold and Visa Gold) - use regularly, my main card
Bank Islam = 2 (Master Gold and Visa Gold) - visa card use once a while, master card nvr use
Hong Leong = 2 (Visa Gold and MTV card) - visa used once, MTV nvr use
Alliance Bank = 1 (Master Gold) - used regularly b4, but this year nvr use

Oh yea, one more but managed to terminated it by not picking it up at Pos Laju Office (postman came but i wasn't around, i think after 3 months the card automatically terminated if i didn't pick it up). The card was Standard Chartered.

Standard Chartered = 1 (Master Platinum) - terminated edy (i think so coz the Standard Chartered people already stop calling me to pick the card).

My wallet can fit 9 cards only excluding the IC and driving licence, but i normally keep 7 cards in my wallet. Yea, that's the reason i have to change my wallet once a year coz the card compartments easy to tear off. Now, i really want to get rid at least half of them. My fav card is HSBC coz they have a very good redemption items and the points needed to redeem the reward is reasonable.

14 and use 7?!.....
How do you keep track and how are you going to pay?!.........
Say one card owe RM500, 7 cards equates to RM3500.
Do hope you earn big bucks.
10k+ credit line is enough for me. So basically I only actively use 1 card. Like I mentioned before, I have to keep my RHB because of auto billing as it's my first card. Most of the time I only use HSBC.

Same as mine, prefer to use HSBC. BTW, i dun like to bring cash around, so normally i will use CC. Yea, some people thought i want to show off but it never cross my mine. i juz dun like to bring cash. Every month at least RM2.5k - RM3.5k of my salary will be used to clear my CC bill, but i can say i dun have much debts. I know how to manage my financial, in fact most of the time i pay full of the amount due. i juz use CC like other people use their cash.

I am contemplating cancelling my HSBC card as I was promised a platinum card when I applied. Got a gold card instead.
*
I prefer to have classic with high credit limit rather than platinum/gold with same or lower credit limit than classic. Furthermore, the annual fee is low. That's the reason i never apply for Citibank gold or platinum card coz my credit limit for classic card is RM14k which is not a combine credit limit. I think it is quite high for classic card but unfortunately, now always get gold card. sweat.gif doh.gif

I make enough to apply a plat card with other banks. Just got taken in by the HSBC agent's pitch of "if you got a gold, now can get a plat". I was thinking hey why not, since HSBC's criteria is one of the highest in the market. Now  punishing the agent asking him to appeal or I cancel lol.

Looking to get plat just to have access to the additional benefits when required. I already have high limits on my golds.

yea, the advantage of platinum besides high credit limit is the benefit u get esp if u always travel around. U r like KING! thats one i can't deny.. thumbup.gif
