Hi Guys,

Today, I randomly came across an article, and you won’t believe it—I was shocked! 😲 A person holding 1,638 credit cards?

He’s truly an inspiration for our community! 🤣 🤣 🤣 I have no idea how he managed to get such a huge number, but hats off to him for his love of credit cards. At first, I couldn’t believe it, but after a bit of research, I found out it’s true! He even holds a Guinness World Record for the largest collection of valid credit cards, achieved in Hyderabad on April 30, 2021.

I have seen this before. I initially thought it was fake because it seems nearly impossible for someone to hold over 1,600 cards. The number of cards they have mentioned exceeds the total number of banks and NBFCs combined. This would only be possible if old, closed cards were also included. Even in the picture, a Priority Pass is visible, which has also been counted.

That being said, they must still have more than 100 active cards for such a high number to be possible.

I am also passionate about collecting credit cards. Currently, I have 35 cards, and my short-term target is 51. While I may not break their total record, I might surpass them in the number of active credit cards in the future. 😅

Regardless, people like them help our community grow rapidly. It's great motivation! 😅

Star bazar, greentrendz, shopperstop, amoeba, pan card, aadhar card, driving license kafi options hai.

Agar Manish Dhamecha sir batwa marenge toh card le lenge aur baaki wapas kar denge.
Agar koi acc close karne ayega bank me, toh Manish Dhamecha sir prakat hoke kahenge "ye card ab mera hua"
Manish Dhamecha sir ki shaadi agar hogi toh barati lounge me khayenge.
Manish Dhamecha sir shaadi iss liye karenge taaki biwi aur baccho ke bhi card bane.
Manish Dhamecha sir bahar nikalte hai toh card ke saath saath, akasmat paristhithi ke liye paper roll saath lekar nikalte hai.

There are not enough financial institutions to get these many individual cards,

These cards spread over,

1. Closed cards
2. Add-On card for every family member (On average 4-6 per Individual CC)
3. Replaced Cards
4. Priority Passes
5. Renewed Cards (Average 3-4 renewals for each card, this would mean they have CC for 12-20 years now)
6. Might include a few Debit Card (this would be cheating but who is counting)

This would bring the number of unique individual cards to about 40-70, which is not impossible given I have 37 unique individual credit cards.

As many have mentioned it can't be so many active cards in his name.

something not right, even if we include all banks in the country + the various cards they offer, the number would be less than 500! Most banks have limits on the cards one customer can have!

Has anyone calculated the total number of card variants are issued by all banks?

These days when a 100 km road is built and has 4 lanes, the government counts it as 400 km of road built. Similarly 1 credit card can be used for spends in 20-30 categories. Maybe he is using this type of calculation.
