Well, not as bad as I thought but still excessive: 14/12 and that doesn't include the 2HPs I had to take to graduate my USBAnk secured cards. I'm 19/24... only my Discover card is older than 2.
In my defense, I only had 4 cards as of 5/19... 3 of those were cap 1. Cap 1 closed 2 of the 3. The 3rd was Sony which was spared due to the Comenity acquisition. So after Cap 1 shut down 4000 of my 7000 total credit, basically scrambled to replace the credit limits and trade lines with secured cards before the Cap 1 closures hit my reports.
I would like to try for my 3rd navy card in June... then after that, just grow and take a weed-whacker to a few (last Credit 1, Newegg and maybe on US Bank card that's stuck at 300 bucks since graduation.)
I've alienated Disco and can't get a CLI because they say I have too many bank cards. That card is bucketed anyway so will probably sock-drawer it to grow my other cards. I still have a Citi secured that will be 24 months old next month. If it doesn't graduate, will probably tell them to give me my money back. It's basically sock-drawered right now.
