[QUOTE="SanDiego1K, post: 835131, member: 1767"] I use the same binders as you. I have three binders: [LIST] [*]Chase [*]AMEX [*]all others incl Citi, Barclays, CNB, Bank of America [/LIST] Within a binder, I have four sections: [LIST] [*]mine, personal [*]mine, business [*]husband, personal [*]husband, business [/LIST] Within each of those are two sections, open and closed. I mark the closed cards with a date as to when I closed them. This is useful for banks that require a two year span between closing and reopening a new card or AMEX for whom a bonus is once in a lifetime. This system works extremely well for me. I only carry the cards for which I have an active need. My Chase Sapphire is always in my wallet. If I am going to Staples, I get out the Chase Ink card that gives 5x points. If I am traveling and staying at a Hilton, I get out my Hilton AMEX. And so on. At the start of the year, I go thru the folders and pull out the cards that have annual rebate categories. I work those off quickly and return them to their folders. [/QUOTE]
