Cards in My Wallet Right Now (2026)

Happy New Year!  My card list is relatively the same compared to the last year with just a few updates.  I retired the Chase IHG card and downgraded to the Sapphire Preferred since the Reserve annual fee is significant and I didn't want to deal with keeping track of partner requirements.  I'm still using the United Club card for lounge access.  I can share referral codes for most cards if interested!
