Now that our Costco AmEx is history, I got to thinking...
We used to have an AmEx, which we used a lot, but also kept a Visa as a backup in case AmEx wasn't accepted - this happened on occasion. We also had a MasterCard.
Now I look at what we have: primary card (Costco) Visa, the BofA Travel Visa, and an LL Bean Visa (DW used to like the free shipping, but doesn't buy much from them any more, so...).
Alway, I really don't see the need to keep more than 2 Visa cards at this point. I'm fine with leaving AmEx behind - I see no practical reason to have one. I see no reason to have a MasterCard either. Visa seems to be accepted everywhere here in the USA and outside it.
I'm not interested on the add/drop cards for bonus thing. The Costco card offers reasonable kickbacks year in year out, that suits me just fine.
Anyone disagree?
