Wallets are cheap. Buy a bigger one.
I was going to say it but you beat me to it!

I have more than I ever thought I'd have in my lifetime. And I use all of them. My mistake was opening so many just to open them and then having no use for them, so I closed them soon after. You really have to evaluate your needs and spending to see what cards make sense for you. Of course there are the rewards hunters and churners, but they're a small breed
I thought most of us are rewards hunters here on this forum.

I guess there are reward hunters and reward hunters! If you get excited about the $25 per quarter from BBR for example, you are, um, the former.

@jawbrkr wrote:So I have this question. I see that many people in these forums carry a lot of credit cards. I have seen people say they carry as many as 60 (Perhaps an exaggeration). My question is, do people really use them all? I mean, at what point does a credit card company say this guy is not using such and such card so we need to close the account if a card is not being used?
I don't use them all, then again ~ I think I have a total of 6? Wife has a few others that don't get used. Outside of Wells Fargo shutting down one of my wife's smaller CL cards last year, none of the cards we don't use ever get cancelled. My wife has a CapOne card from 10 years ago that she hasn't used in 9 ... Its an awesome trade line, and we have no plans to shut it down 
If you fear the card closing ... Use it on a single bill/charge once a month and auto pay. Set up each card on something different and go from there.
I prefer finding cards I can see myself keeping for atleast 3-4 years. I don't open, nor plan to open any sort of store cards ... I have no real reason and I don't shop at any particular store enough to take advantage of a 5% or so discount.
YMMV ... I plan to keep 10 or less at any given time. I even shut 2 down this year (BofA Plat & AMEX gold)
EDITED TO ADD: Just counted ~ I have 7 personal, not 6
I have 5 cards and cycle the QS WMC, QS, and Barclays every month so those 3 get used for a solid month every 3rd month. I don't really use the other two that much and thinking about closing them. In the end I may end up with 4-5 prime cards, max. I come no where near my limits currently so no need for another $50K in limits.

Off topic, OP, is your name in ref to the band Jawbreaker?
Sorry for the late response. But no, not thr band. I was looking for a handle and that one seemed appropriate. For some reason boxing and breaking jaws came to mind..
