6 at once is a lot but fortunately the lenders you chose aren't generally overly sensitive to opening too many accounts. You should be fine as long as you don't add more.

Right, but what about existing lenders?

Re: Is six new cards too many?

Six new accounts are a lot by most standards but especially in the 2020 economic climate. I'd cool off for at least six months and a year is better. Aggressive credit seeking is not a good look and you don't want your cards, existing or the new ones, to be closed out due to lenders pecieving you as a risk. 

 

I think in the economy we are in right now one should consider any apps carefully and definitely spread them out few and far between. That said, what's done is done, and closing the cards now will do you no good. May as well keep them and try to reap some benefit from the damage done by opening them.
