I'll specifically call out Chase.
They have a graphic on their app.
So if you're working on a sign-up bonus for a new credit card, you can actually see I still have to spend $632 by May 3rd to earn the bonus.

And I really love that because I think it's really consumer friendly.
Yep.

Oh, it was a card I had in college.
Yeah, very no frills.
It had like a $500 credit limit.
And the first semester I was in college, I maxed it out buying textbooks.
And then as I got older and was managing my money more independently, then I was able to qualify for more credit cards that had perks.
So that was my evolution.
So it started really simply.
And now I don't even know how many open credit cards I have.
