Best practices

Hey guys.

 

I've opened a few different accounts, i.e. PRG, Discover, CSP and Venture...all within the last two months.  Obviously chaining myself to something is garden is the next step, but should I be considering cutting a few of the lower limits or should I sit tight?

 

 

THanks!!

Sit tight unless you have to pay an AF on a card you don't need or want.

I agree with the others sit tight.

Your call despite the inevitable "do not close if no AF" replies as best is subjective.  Everyone does not have the same needs/wants/credit/preferences/priorities/goals/etc.
