So, I think it's a great idea.

I have like twenty. I think i'm going to keep it frozen for a year. Does this sound like a good plan?

Or have you been mortgage shopping or car shopping?<BR /><BR />Random apping really hurts your credit, especially when it results in a lot of new accounts. My history will be in diapers for another year or so, and that was "just" from 8 new accounts.
