We closed on our mortgage 2/25/16 and after I guess you can say went for a bit of an App Spree: Approved for: Amex BCE $5,500 Citi Hilton Honors $11,500 Chase Freedom $2.000 And just today - Virgin America $8,000!! I had recently added in Sept last year Discover IT which is currently at $2,000, Amex Hilton $1,000 and Chase Disney Visa which received a CLI and is now at $11,500! With that said I figured it was time to close out some of these cards that either were starters or just have no use for: CLOSED TODAY: JCPenny had a $4k limit Chevron Gas $1,500 76 Gas card $1,600 AE $2,500 Merrick Bank $1,900 Now wonder how much of a hit my scores will take? I am excited about my brand new cards and will baby them! I still have some other store cards such as Nordstrom, Target, and VS/Loft, GAP, Amazon but use those and always PIF so will not be closing those. Just wanted to share !
