32 Credit Cards in My Wallet 2026: A Veteran Entrepreneur’s Guide to Maximizing Card Benefits

Image
As of June 2024 my wife and I have over 32 open credit and charge cards. I was active duty military for nearly 12 years. Over that time, my wife and I opened and closed dozens of cards. Some of the benefits we receive by having so many cards open are: airport lounge access to American Express Centurion Lounge and Priority Pass, $2,350 of airline fee credit annually, $1,420 Uber Cash annually, $600 travel credits, top hotel elite status, top rental car status, free travel insurance, and $800 of free Saks Fifth Avenue purchases annually. Since 2015 we have opened over 46 cards. My credit score is currently 811-820 according to Credit Karma and Credit Sesame. There's a common misconception that opening that many credit cards will damage your credit. It doesn't. If anything, it might improve your credit score because of the way credit scores are calculated. I recommend both sites to check your credit score for free. I made a deep dive video on military credit scores . The mo...

WWE Giving Tony Hinchcliffe Another Wrestlemania Show Continues To Insult Puerto Rico

Image
WWE customers put up with a lot in 2026. They deal with “Big Four” Premium Live Events exported to overseas markets, inconveniencing viewers, and stealing millions from American cities that could be benefiting from that economic development. They continue to fragmentize streaming and raise rates. You can’t watch WWE with a single cable plan anymore. You need multiple services and a cable subscription to enjoy the entire story. Or else you’re always putting together a puzzle. And then they continue to give people like Tony Hinchcliffe money. He’s been invited back for another Wrestlemania show (story HERE ). You’ll recall Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “Floating Island Of Garbage”. To this day, he has no remorse. The trolls in his fandom continue to celebrate it. If Tony’s hate were confined to his own universe that would be his business alone, but every time WWE lifts him up, it invites his anti Puerto Rican views into the WWE. And simply going beyond Tony’s cruel view o...
