No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Thanks again for the advice, all. I see all your points and understand them.
I actually would plan on keeping all these cards long-term. If I successfully added five accounts that would put my total at 10. Realistically, what I may do is prioritize which cards I want and do the online applications sequentially. If I get two rejections then I'd probably just stop. Decisions! I really want to add an AmEx and will go for those first, but I have a feeling that's where I'm most likely to be rejected.
I am not a big spender but make sure to use most cards once per month. But, I can see that some lenders wouldn't like me having cards and barely using them (or not at all).

Then just wait for the good timing
So do I.
Just ask them how often do you need to use that card to keep that card active. Most of mine are as long as I use it once in between the 4~6 month period, it stays active/open.
This is not good idea.
* It is nothing but how you manage your cards/money.
* I have total of 9 ccs ...
Carry the statement balance on 3 ccs I uses mainly
Zero statement balance on 3 ccs with monthly small charges and 3 ccs once in the 4 ~ 6 months with small charges .
