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.
had 29prime cards now down to14 prime cards have listed them before, no cards under 10,000cl and over 250,000 combined cl on personal side .... biz side I keep seperate.....still trying to get rid of the dead wood ..........

old subprime orchard bank capital one sears more recent subprime circuit city visa dell soon to come prime amex blue bofa platinum 5-6 credit cards is a good number throw one store card in there for a good mix
Household and both Captial One subprime cards... maybe 6 prime cards and one or two store cards (best buy & target visa)
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%!!!!
