I currently have an Amex gold as my only card and I’m considering what else I should have or upgrade. A relative was telling me he is canceling his Amex Platinum and his Chase Marriott card and converting to the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Delta skymiles gold card which got me thinking about what I should have.
I am extremely brand-loyal to Delta and want to build status with them so I am considering the Delta Amex Platinum card as something that can help with TDY travel. I am also considering the Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve because of their overall premium benefits. I do also want to have some kind of Visa for potential international travel and something to use at places that don’t accept Amex. I am just trying to find a fleet of cards that fits my needs and goals for status. Any help is appreciated!
What credit cards should I have?

If ur active duty, get all of them and get multiple.
Even if ur not, get all of them and downgrade after a year lol, they’re all worth the welcome bonus.
But don’t upgrade if u haven’t gotten platinum yet. You can get a bigger welcome bonus. The highest is 175k compared to upgrade bonus which is like 80-100k. Of course you have to spend more.
