The weight of your credit card might impress some, but it's not about how heavy the card is; it's about how well you use it. Instead of focusing on the card’s prestige or appeal, prioritize earning more rewards and minimizing fees. WalletHub’s free CardAdvisor tool can help you find the right card for your needs.

What, are you doing trivia or something!? No one cares how heavy your card is. If you’re really rich, you don’t need to try to act like it.

The heaviest credit card is one with a big balance and a high interest rate, because that will really weigh down your finances. So, pay in full to avoid interest, and worry more about saving money instead of impressing people.

If you're tryna flex with the heaviest card, the JP Morgan Reserve is basically a dumbbell at 27-28 grams. It weighs more than a AA battery.

read full answer by John S Kiernan, Managing EditorHow many credit cards is too many?
The number of credit cards that’s “too many” to handle differs from person to person. Too many credit cards for most people could be six or more, as the average American has a total of five credit cards, but it ultimately depends on how well you can manage one credit card, then two, and so on.
