Keeping track of CC's and points
« on: February 02, 2013, 04:42:16 PM »
How do you guys keep track of all the CC's you have, when to cancel them, spending thresholds, amount of points, etc. Is there any website that tracks all this info conveniently?

Apply for a couple cards. Churn the CL’s like there is no tomorrow. Cash out and move on to the next ones. Simple!  :)

Can count them on one hand. An example would be the IB. Spent 50k when I first received it at OD, sold points and now it is forgotten.

I guess they will send the points police after me.  :)

I just remembered that I do have Award Wallet that keeps track of some of the stuff.

A great site someone told me about is pageonce.com, that keeps track of all of your account including checking saving and credit cards.

also reminds you of up coming bills, and big purchases etc.

Try searching for topics that include generic terms with multiple ways to describe the issue.
I did at least 3 searches before starting this thread.

Thanks RebJo.
