Too Much Too Soon?

Does anyone have any insight to when opening new accounts can end up causing some creditors to reduce limits or close accounts, which I've heard happens with a fair amount of frequency?    Thing is, I just received a pre-approved Marvel Mastercard and I'd love to accept that card which has great rewards.  

 

I am at 9% usage.   EXP - 746     TU - 755     EXP - 747

 

No derogatories ever.  Oldest TL with Discover since 1999. No mortgages.

 

In 2016 I have opened the following:

 

Mar:    Avant personal loan

May:   MBZ Auto Lease

May:   Citibank Simplicity Mastercard

June:  Citibank Costco Visa

July:   Lending Club personal loan

Sept:  Chase Sapphire Visa

Nov:   Bank of America Auto Loan

 

Thanks for your insights and opinions and Happy Holidays!!

Re: Too Much Too Soon?

It depends on your profile. I have opened and closed over 20 revolving credit cards over the past year. I even closed Barclay cashforward with a 6k cl and then turned around and applied and was approved for the ring card 3 months later.

 

I am surprised Chase, my second card opening hasn't AA'd me. They even approved me for the SLATE last month and I think I am near 20/12.

 

AA could hit me at anytime from Barclay or Chase I suppose. 

 

My attitude would be their loss if they AA me.

 

So it is really is tough to say.

 

My profile is $146,550 total credit. I have 2% reporting across the board. 2 personal loans (sofi and dcu) and an auto loan (dcu)...No baddies, no lates. just a lot of new accounts and inquiries.

Re: Too Much Too Soon?

You would most likely get a very nice SL on a Marvel card with that TU score.

Adverse Action.

 

When a creditor reduces your credit line or closes your account with or without warning or notice.

 

A lender does this when they feel you are a risk. Or for whatever reason they feel like it.
