My Current Favorite Credit Cards!

There are two primary reasons why I like to use credit cards and now have a decent number of them in my wallet (actually they don't all fit in my wallet anymore!).  The first is the benefit of rewards (or statement credits that are effectively cash-back) earned via spending on the cards (as detailed on THIS LINK).  The second reason is the potential to earn very lucrative sign-up bonuses when you first get the card.  I'll highlight some of my favorite cards here ...
