I am curious as to who is carrying what, and why?

I carry all four majors, AMEX, Mastercard, Discover, and Visa. No debit and no ATM.

Discover and my Visa debit card… The Visa debit was only incase Discover wasn’t taken though I hardly have that problem. My Citi Dividend Platinum Selec t arrives soon and will replace both!

I only carry other card once or twice a year to use on a small purchase to keep current.

I currently have Citi Dividend Platinum Select. I am nearing my yearly $300 cash back rebate. When I get a little closer to the max I will switch to my Chase Rewards Card, also with a $300 limit. I also have the Citi Professional, which I use exclusively for restaurants and office supply purchases (3% back in Thank You points).
I have quite a few more in the sock drawer that I pull out for special circumstances (Priority Club Visa if I will be at a Holiday Inn or one of its other chain motels), etc.
