    How many cards do most people have? I have 6 credit cards, 0 store cards, and 1 bank card... I'm thinking that I need to get some store cards? Just curious? Wish I knew the credit mix...

    Citi Diamond Preferred, $15K
    MBNA World Mastercard, $13.7K
    Credit Union Visa, $500 (My first card, never asked for increase)
    Bank of America Platinum Visa, $8600
    Bank One Platinum Visa, $8500
    Target Visa, $6900 (Incr. from $5400 yesterday, yay!)
    Discover Platinum, $6500
    Fleet Platinum, $1500 (Toy card, cancelling it)
    Chase Perfectcard, $1000 (Same as Fleet)
    Chase Stockback Platinum, $6500

    I think I have too many cards right now, especially being only 19 the limits are insane. Not sure if I should drop the limits, but it's kinda cool to know most other 19 year olds don't have comparable limits, hehe. Just have to use them in regulation. They do keep my ratio VERY low, in the 1-2% range. However, some of the cards are going to be cancelled, and I will stick with just three or four; just hard deciding which ones to keep.

    Same thing here. Im 21 and most 21 years olds have 1-2 cards. By the way, guess your top negative is low credit history right?

    2-GM Platinum's
    1-HHB Gold MC
    1-Sears MC
    1-Crap one VISA
    3-Crap One Platinum MC
    1-Discover Platinum
    1-Fleet Platium
    1-Chase Platinum
    1-Bank of America Money Return
    1-Amex green rewards
    What was i think with the "toy" gas cards?
    1-BP
    1-Citgo
    1-Shell
    1-Target Guest

    ok, im establish my history for only being 21, so im going to combine the 3 crap one's, dump chase dump gas/store cards and hhb. I was anxious to start establishing credit after having NONE and a interest rate with GMAC at 25.5%!!!!
