Depends on how you want to use it. I have three cards, one was my first decent card with an ok rewards system - my water bill goes on there every month, just to keep it alive. The other two - one with a really low rate and ok rewards... The other with higher APR and an awesome rewards system. The low rate card is for emergencies and big purchases - like when I needed a new A/C for the house. I have the cable, cell phone, and e-pass on this card keeping it going in the mean time. The other card is for everyday purchases... I use it constantly and generate nearly $500 cash back per year.
All three of my cards are VISA's.
There are also benefits to certain cards - extended warranties, emergency roadside service, etc
Oh, I forgot... All the cards are paid off every month, unless there's an emergency or other big expense.
