As to too many credit cards hurting your credit rating, there is a
very good discussion of that topic
here.

It is not opening the credit cards that can hurt the rating, it is the constant opening and closing of them (not to mention the hassle). If you sign up for a card to get 5k miles and pay a fee of $50, will you pay that fee to keep the card a second year, when you already are paying a fee on another card? You can only put the transations on one card.
