Curious to meet the heavy hitters in the TF community. Share how many active credit cards do you have and brag your portfolio, also really looking forward to how do you manage that portfolio, keeping track of payments etc. Let me start with myself, I have 40 active credit cards as on date out of which 35 I got in last 10 months only, targeting a half century soon. Depth of credit 10+ years, CIBIL 796. No of enquiries last one year >60.

Overall Your Credit Card Limit???
 
1.37 Cr as per CIBIL report but a lot of this is double counted (Shared limits)
I never looked into this data point( overall credit limit) Checked now after seeing this post. I always looked at limit per card and utilization % basis limit of that card. If I look at overall limit usage, I am at 0% 🙂 as per report. Means negligible credit usage.

I have Ola SBI which has a fee waiver if I spend one lakh or more.

I am planning to upgrade my SBI or get it converted as LTF, but every time I try to close the card the only retention offer I get is a waiver of the renewal fee, not able to upgrade to any other variant.

I was planning to apply for Amex Gold, as I spend almost 4 to 7k on fuel most of the time, let me know if any of you have any suggestions.

Have keen interest on IDBI Royal Signature Card but there's no proper information straight from the horse's mouth. will you share your experience regarding this card. How to get this Easy way. Must have required documents for it. If possible via C2C or salary slip or itr etc. how much limit on card or salary or itr needed ?

Can you share your experience how you achieved four cards in HDFC?
 
I never looked into this data point( overall credit limit) Checked now after seeing this post. I always looked at limit per card and utilization % basis limit of that card. If I look at overall limit usage, I am at 0% 🙂 as per report. Means negligible credit usage.

You were looking in the right way only as far as utilisation ratio was concerned..
This total limit is to ascertain total available debt to Income ratio..
The more this ratio is , the riskier the credit profile
 
What is your relationship with Kotak? Do you hold a Privy account to get this as LTF?
No. I have a simple 811 account - no cheque book, no Debit Card. I was maintaining about 1 lakh plus all along. Kotak guys are after me. I said no for 2 months - all paid cards. Then, said yes for ZEN LTF. Got an add-on for my elder son who works in HYD (alongwith AMEX MRCC ADDON card). He is happy. So, I am happy.

And how old was your relationship with Kotak if I may ask?
