SD, RD, and the gang, I have a dilemma.I have been forced to use a company-pay card (company pays all bills on it). It has a terrible points program, and they are trying to force us to use it for all work travel spend. Just a terrible set of circumstances here.Well, I am thinking that many of my cards are essentially obsolete. I noticed that Steve Dave said that he cancels some of his, and then later re-applies for them. Below are my current cards. Since I have to use my company card to buy most travel expenses, I really won't have much occasion to use my Delta and American cards. Do you guys think I should cancel these? Should I just hold them in the event that I want to buy a vacation ticket retail (e.g. get the bonus points for buying a Delta ticket with the Delta card, etc.). Is it better to have more or less active cards, when it comes time to try for new cards? Thoughts?Current cards:Chase Sapphire Preferred (this is going to turn into my everyday card)Southwest Visa PreferredAmerican Airlines Advantage MasterCardDelta Skymiles American Express (this gives me one free round trip companion ticket every year, with purchase of one full fair ticket).Marriott Signature VisaStupid work card diners club master card piece of crap

Does AA have a fee free card?
Cancel all of the annual fee ones unless you have a reason to keep them Pete. Keep your daily driver and whatever you want for the benefits.
I want another credit card, and plan to apply for one soon. It looks like the Chase Sapphire Card may be the best get, but can I pay down my annual fee with points? Otherwise, I may do a different perks card to go with my cash card.

by lay down the law, i mean just sort of vaguely nod my head when they tell me to have the secretaries book my travel which they think means "ok", but i think means, "i hear you" then go on booking my own travel with my own cards.
We use Amex but we have to pay a fee to get the MR points. It pisses me off so much.
Pete, I know nothing about the program but it looks pretty decent actually http://thepointsguy.com/2014/10/diners-club-rewards-launches-transferable-points-program/
