Hello,
I have a few large expenses coming up.... new roof (12-15k), finishing a renovation (5k), new hvac,
Do you all think it's better to open a couple credit cards to try and maximize the benefit? or just pick one (and which one? I saw the amex platinum offer and considering it as we will use a good number of the benefits (Global entry, flights, uber, etc).
I'm scouring the posts to find other good options... but also thought I would ask,. Current credit score is 800+
Thank you in advance for your thoughts/comments

My 2 cents.
Ours is a flat roof for a rowhouse. Thankful it isn't 35k! I hadn't checked financing options, but will this week (to your point of financing rates vs CD interest rate )
Thank you
How much total came back to you with the three offers?

We timed our cards as best we could used them this past December on vacation I needed a hotel for the day and wanted to check in early so I paid for 2 nights with points and also I flew back to Boston on points first class and still have some left over. You might need to spread the cards over different people as Chase seems to have the most offers and I have a lot of Chase cards.
