The perks of multiple credit cards

When it comes to credit cards, going separate can come with perks. Depending on your credit history, you may qualify for vastly different cards, and so you should diversify as much as you can. Maybe you alone can qualify for that travel card that gives you $700 worth of travel points, just for signing up. But he can’t. He can, however, qualify for that cash back card that offers high cash back on things like groceries and gas. So he can get that one, and you two can work together to make the most of your cards.
