I plan to apply for 3 credit cards in 2 months to maximise rewards. Will this hurt my credit score and my future loan eligibility?

I had the same dilemma. The way I decided was: list down my top 3 monthly spend categories, calculate the rewards on each card, and pick whichever gives the highest cashback on MY pattern. Generic 'best card' lists are useless for personal decisions.
