Listen, folks, if you believe something like that is true, test it out first at your local mall doing what you plan on doing. That's a good rule for anything you read here. Don't spend thousands of dollars in your own area without testing what you plan to do first.

8-12 usually, split among 2 or 3 cards. Most I've bought is about 18 and I was planning on buying a lot before 12/31... glad I don't have to now. I'm anxious about getting too far out over my skis given the shaky MO situations.

The only real limit for most is liquidation velocity. At any moment the rules can change and you do not want to be left with CC balance you cannot clear before the due date
if that is not a concern Simon will sell you 25k per day

Liquidating isn't a huge concern for me, as I have a number of ways to liquidate the cards. My bigger concern is Chase shutting down my card. It has a $20k+ limit and I don't cycle, but still get nervous doing anything more than 3-4 cards in a trip and 6-8 total in a month.

The 3-4 cards do they include multiple Chase cards or do you stick with just one Chase card?
