Your government says diversity is good. Mix up that spending a bit so your pattern of spend is not too obvious. Remember - the nail that sticks up is the one that gets hit by the hammer. Trade off efficiency for stealth as the banks like to see "normal" spend. Make your normal look more like the normal they expect to see.

Which is better - ALWAYS using the CC that gives you the maximum bonus in every situation, or diversifying your spend across several CC, even if sometimes you use a CC that doesn't give you the best possible bonus in that store?

What does everyone else do? What is your rationale?
