Will this help or hurt my score

Went on my first app spree ever and I think I did okay:

 

KSCFCU - Visa 1000

Pottery Bartn - 4000

Ethan Allen - 3500

Citibank - 5000

Home Depot - 8000

Amex BCE - 7000

B of A - 5000

 

 

Ultimately, I came with no credit cards and now I have all of these.  Will this help my credit or hurt me?

 

Thanks!

I had no open trade lines.  Only closed from years ago and student loans.

Re: Will this help or hurt my score

when the first couple hit your score will go up, then as the rest hit the score will go down a little each time. How far they go down is unknown, Since your UTL is zero now it won't approve your UTL.

 

Now its time to garden and let your new seedlings age, and grow with you. 

 

Congrats nice cards to start with

 

Wallet: FNBO DISC 7.5k, , Chase Freedom 3.3k & Slate 3.3k, AMEX BCP 7.5k & AMEX Hilton Surpass 5.5k & AMEX Zync NPSL, Walmart 3.3k, CapOne AU 1.5k
Sockdrawer: Paypal Extras MC 3.2k, CapOne 2k, CapOne 750, Amazon 3.9k, Sams Club store 4.8k, and a nice stack of store cards.

If you had no revolving credit at all and now you have all of these new accounts this will boost your scores tremendously. Rev UT is 30% of your total credit score this will have a tremendous positive impact. Congrats! What were your scores before the spree?
 

Starting Score:
585
Current Score: FICO TU 733 FICO EQ 724 EX PLUS 744
