It's such garbage that closing a credit card account should hurt your ability to get a new credit card. When I'm done at a hotel, i don't keep my bill open, do I?

I have more than the maximum amount of cards (20) that the stacker lets you input. I'm quite confident that other FiLIfe contributors, as well as readers, would also exceed this limit.

Remember that closing accounts can generally only hurt your credit score. So if one has a long credit history, open cards can accumulate over time for any number of reasons.
