First, I have terrific credit, and i would like to keep it that way. I have paid off all my balances every single month in full for over 18 years. I have no plans to take out any loans in the next 2 years. I have applied for 4 cards in my name in the past 6 months and was approved for all. ^ (Wife has done the same).

Is there a rule you guys follow? As in, only 2 cards every 90 days, or 6 cards every 6 months? Trying to keep a fine balance between keeping a great credit score and getting miles.
