Currently have (from oldest in order of age):
  • British Air
  • JPM Reserve
  • IHG
  • Southwest Plus
  • Hyatt (new)
Will probably keep most of them as I value the benefits, with the exception of WN which I must close before applying for the new WN Priority card. Also BA which I will dump when I exhaust my stash of Avios. Too many AFs.

Closed (from oldest, in order of age):
  • United
  • Continental (MC)
  • Southwest
  • Marriott
  • CSR
  • Hyatt (old)
  • Southwest (Premier)
This represent my Chase history over roughly 2 decades. I don't believe in massive churning as I value my relationship with Chase. So I generally close 1 card per year and then apply for 1 new Chase card per year. I will usually apply for a couple of non-Chase cards at the same time so my 5/24 apps age off at the same time of year.
