I don't regret closing any of the cards I've closed--I regret opening them in the first place!

This couldn't be any truer in my case, especially when I made the mistake of getting too many crap store cards like the Target RED Card and Fingerhut with 6 months of credit history. It was just so exciting at the time to actually get multiple instant approvals even if the cards I applied for weren't really the best at all. I also did this around the time I started to post on this website so there was a lot back then I didn't really know about at all. It made it more of a pain to get in with Chase and Barclays for a while but thankfully I closed cards like that back in August.

I would have kept Kohl's b/c of the coupons.

 

And I won't reapply b/c now they give out lowly CLs.

 

When I had my acct, they were with Chase and the CLs were much better.
