I don't know what kind of background you need so here are the basics:
I'm a 29 year old single (for the purposes of financial stuff; I do have a girlfriend but she and I don't live together or share finances) female currently renting from parents. I don't have much debt other than my car loan and a few hospital bills I'm paying off.
I currently have:
-
a Care Credit card with a limit of $2500. No balance - I just finished paying off a dental bill and don't plan on putting anything more on this card until I have more dental work done in January.
-
Discover IT card with a limit of $1000. I just opened this card in June 2017. So far I put about $500/month on it (which feels like a lot? I use it for gas and groceries and some subscription payments) but I pay it in full every month.
I would like to get the Amazon card - I think there are two different ones? - so I can get cashback on Amazon purchases. However I don't know A) if that's a good idea and B) how long I should wait before opening another card.
My FICO score is 717. If you need any other info from me, please ask. I am new to the world of credit cards, as my parents were never very open about financial matters with me (such as how to get a loan, what to use credit cards for, etc) and I've mostly learned from this sub.
edit: The only future plans I have are to finish paying off my hospital bills and to move in with my girlfriend (thus paying more rent), both happening sometime early next year.
