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?

    This is pretty much what I do. I get cash back and have a very good credit score because of it. I usually pay it off completely every month. If for some reason I dont/cant I pay enough such that I do not have to pay interest. So yeah, free money! It doesn’t really make sense to use debit over credit (assuming you are financially responsible)
