There is a very strong reason to have two credit cards. When on a trip,
have
your wife carry one and you carry the other. Then when one is misplaced
(don't
ask me how I came to this conclusiion) you can cancel that one and still
have a
good vacation.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. I have a corporate AMEX card that I'm
authorized to use for personal expenses in an emergency, so I have two
cards already without Discover.

That is simply fascinating. Thanks for sharing that in teresting tidbit of
information with us. Most people would never think to have two or more
cards. Brilliant idea!
