Damn, I've got 7 - though 4 are for 3 different business banking accounts, 1 is for an old personal account I never use, and the other two are accidental duplicates from HSBC.

I only use one personal banking credit card, though, and every single one of my credit cards is paid off in full each month.

Hmm, I have A LOT.

2 personal credit cards
2 business credit cards
2 ATM/debit cards
1 New York & Company store credit card

The only ones that really get used are my debit cards, though - we rarely charge things.

That's true, but like with my New York & Company card, if I use the card on Tuesdays I get an additional 10% off everything. So I use it to get that discount, then pay it in full when the bill comes and then I don't have to worry about interest.

So yes, they get the people who will carry a balance...but if you use it wisely, you win.
