I  have 91 open credit cards right now. All are active. I said I was going to stop at 48. It is a hobby for me. Like stamp collecting for others.

I do get CLI's often as well providing they are SP's as I have just over 100 inquries on my three reports combined

I would think some banks would do an AA as I  have so many cards but nope, I just keep getting more. But I only apply to banks that look the other way, so I avoid banks like Chase and US Bank etc, I have a few cards with them but those cards are decades old.

I also have 28 debit ATM or what ever you want to call them with Visa or MC logos, all active as well.

I am done but I say that all the time until a new CC comes out and I have to have it LOL.

I wish there was a credit card help group for people like me all I ever find is for drunks and drug users, sheesh

Thanks

The only hard and fast rule is that if you go 12 months without adding anything new, you move up to a better scorecard and higher score.

I'm not real sure about this, but I thought that there are 4 dirty scorecards. The bottom 2 are for public records, + 2 others. In my case, with a CO, I have assumed I am in a dirty card until the CO ages out.

Wow I thought my 15 cards was a lot (though it is still a lot in the timeframe I opened them). One or two of the myFICO scores mention number of revolving accounts as a negative. I have two for sure I want to axe soon but there's also more I want. It's so hard fighting this addiction 🥺😂.

I had over 30 last year.  Decided one day, I wanted to streamline my finances, so I closed everything but 3 (see siggy) and focused on the credit lines.  Overall happy with what I have, suits me fine, but, I would like to swap out my mastercard for a better one.  I had to quit my outdoors hobby due to injury, so REI really doesnt do anything for me, but US Bank will not do a PC for me.

I am very content with my high(er) CL cards even if its only 3
