Very interesting post! Thanks for the link. I do think you need at least two major credit cards, maybe 3, for the following reason: my husband cycles through the websites of our credit cards (one VISA, one Mastercard, one Discover) every morning. Using Firefox, he doesn't even have to type in the passwords so it's a very quick process. Two days before we were supposed to leave home for a 6-week trip this summer, he saw that there was a fraudulent airline ticket charge on the credit card we most like to use (Marriott VISA card for the points!) and he called it in immediately. They were able to stop the charge before it even cleared the airline so presumably this thief never got his free flight. Anyway, when we travel, we like to have a different card in each of our wallets so that if one of us loses his/her card, we've got another one to rely on and having 3 cards made this possible.

Hi Brip Blap,

Thanks for writing the guest post! I appreciate it.

I just got back from my honeymoon, and I had a wonderful time. :)
