I signed up for an American Express preferred Blue card and got approved for a limit of $25,000. I have a 830 credit score. I realized that the places I shop don’t accept that card and you have to pay for it yearly so I canceled it.

Then I decided I was going to get a Costco Visa. Once I signed up the credit limit was only $5,000. So I canceled that one. So I stupidly signed up for a Wells Fargo Visa and that was $4,000.

Don’t leave yet and please don’t make fun of me but I’m not done being stupid. I decided I wanted a different American Express card and when I signed up for it the credit limit was $2,000 so I canceled that one.

Again I know I’m fucking stupid but how bad did I just fuck up my credit?

    It could be much worse. I was ready for you to tell us about the massive debt you racked up. At least this is something that will go away over time with no cost or effort on your part.

      Lol ikr. I read the beginning of the post and the minute I saw them mention the rather large credit limit I thought the story was going in the opposite direction that it ended up going.
