Does this give you better opportunities for balance transfers and offers? I thought somebody brought this up, but I was wondering how much it plays a part (do cc’s look to see that you have other cards from other companies and dial up the goodies?)

Interesting question. I don’t think they normally look over your credit report, but I am convinced that having mulitiple cards from multiple issuers gives you more options when it comes to balance transfers. Is this what you were asking?

It also increases your chance of taking advance of special offers by certain retailers/companies. I know Southwest offered double points for a month or two for paying with a certian type of card (Visa? not just teh southwest card for any visa branded card). I htink I have seen a similar deal with at least one hotel chain also.
