MV,
That totally rocks! Wish I would have thought of it.
Don't forget your towel!
I am so old that I listened to the first broadcast of the first series on the radio.
And I recorded them and got lots of free beer for making copies

Wow. And thats your closed account list. I would be scared to read your open account list.
Here is my closed account:
Amex Clear- closed the day I was approved for it. (Wasn't happy with the CL, wanted to do a large bt)
Bailey Banks and Biddle Card
Express card
My open accounts
Citi Dividend
BoA Amex
Auto loan
Ya I know. 42 is a ridiculous number! It's divisible by neither 5 nor 10 So I'm going for 50 Yep... 2010 will be my year to reach that goal. Then I'm done. Mmmm.... credit.

But why? Like can someone please explain it to me so maybe I can understand? Why is that your goal? What is it that it will do for you? What is the difference between having so many cards with low limits for stores or even credit cards vs having 2 or 3 credit cards with high limits you can use anywhere and maybe 1 store card. I honestly don't see the actual benefit of having them. I just turned 23 a week ago, and with my limited credit, I have a decent score so I don't think its necessary to have all those unless your reason is outside of your FICO score.
