I applied for a number of credit cards not realizing about fico scores. Now my score apparently went down, how long will this be for if I don't apply for anything else? And how long should I wait? One card I won't use, another I won't open that I was approved for... I guess it looks like I was desperately looking especially since I already had a 30k line with American Express and then the other card only gave me a pathetic $750 line. I run a business thus the high credit with American Express. Any way I can make this better?
