Sure, but if I have 8 different cards issued by SMBC then that's still 8 cards.

Seconding this. I have multiple cards by SMCC, some basically given to me.

There's also a lot of "virtual credit card" offerings right now to pair with peer-to-peer payment apps. I imagine that those need to get cycled through frequently.

8 is not an exageration.
