Last year I was fixing some blemishes on my credit report so I took it easy with the CC applications. It actually turned out to be a great decision, because I got my credit score back up to excellent and I was able to capitalize on all of the great offers this year. I still had a good score last year, but decided to take the conservative route.

500k a year will be difficult, but with more and more players getting into the game (Cap One, BofA, Barclays) and business card bonuses on the rise, I think it could be done.
