I actually have six valid accounts from Chase, plus a mortgage originated and serviced by them. 
Otherwise my credit card use is not out of the ordinary and probably not quite so optimized as some of the others in this thread, but I thought I'd share since I had so many from one bank.
I've been using my old Chase Freedom as the workhorse, given that I was getting 3% on gas/groceries PLUS 5% on the quarterly specials. Now that the 3% is going away, I am ill-prepared for a good replacement....
I just got a Chase CO card earlier this year to get a free bonus (fee waived first year) that would be merged with my UA balance eventually. I figured they would cancel one of my other 5 cards that I haven't used in ages. Nope, they left 'em all open. One is a truly toy card with still only a $3k limit, LOL. A couple date from the days of churning intro BT offers and a couple from when one could get multiple UA bonuses.
Anyway, Chase seems to like me. Have two from some other banks and Amex. Last year when I truly had no balances except for ones paid off every month, I had FICO in the high 700s, I think one of the two real scores actually read over 800. Now I've hit up a couple of 0% offers for a little while, but not for very high utilization so should be fine.
