Ever wonder which credit cards you should carry and how to effectively use them to cash in on max rewards? Well today we want to share with you what's in our wallets and how we decide which cards to use and which ones to keep tucked away.

We are super excited for today's episode, not only to give you a behind-the-scenes look into what's in our wallets, but also to find out what each other's daily rhythms are when it comes to using them. So let's get to it.

We also discuss cards that we plan to "sock drawer" after meeting the minimum spending requirements and earning the bonuses. 

Lastly, we talk about cards that we plan to downgrade to keep them open without paying the full annual fees.
