Re: Credit Question - How many cards is too many?

You could look for a "credit score" simulator on the web and try
"what-if"
scenarios for your personal credit history details. The are some free
ones, but
they arent very detailed. The more specific ones ask for monry.
They all say too little or too much credit activity hurts one's
ratings,
but there dont seem to be precise rules for optimal use. Most of the
web
seem to repeat the "five general rules" of how to keep credit ratings
high
but dont go into specifics about number of accounts, percentage used,
etc.
