Indeed we are a diverse crowd, but the better players have a high degree of intelligence and creativity and deeper pockets.
1. 4x income
2. 100% MS
3. Hightide mark was 100 cards, including originals, AUs, and virtual accounts while assisting the mint with inventory reduction.
4. Currently play with 8 issuers, but have played with more. That figure doubles if you include pseudo bank issuers and debit card issuers.

There are still some things that escape me though. We come in many shapes and sizes - age, financial profile, experience, household size, etc. I am trying to develop an efficient, adaptable system that can cut across these parameters.
So here are a few of my questions:
1. What percentage of MS seems sustainable relative to annual income and relative to credit limit?
2. Within the spending on one card, what percentage of real versus manufactured spending seems sustainable?
3. How many cards do you MS on simultaneously?
4. Do you max out your spending to annual income ratio with several issuing banks simultaneously?
I know we all have different comfort levels. I am curious to see what has worked.
