Marry. This and the other "THANK YOU THANK YOU" thread were started by people who counted both the stuff they got and the stuff their wife got and then added them together to make a bigger bragging amount.
You could theoritcally start a thread where you and you whole extended family just apply for one card each but you add them all up together and have a misleadingly huge number that way too.
But to get started? What is your credit history? Just because someone with a good credit history and good credit score can do this does not mean that absolutely everyone can. If you don't have a credit history, you can't do "this" (a huge number of card apps), because you'll be declined left and right for "insufficient credit history".
I definitely don't have the credit history to start churning cards...
My credit history started w/a Discover More Card in December 2010 and 6 months later I opened a Chase Freedom card.
Currently both card limits sit at 5k. I spent 50k on my Discover last year and another 50k on my discover in the past 3 months. Chase just set my limit to 5k so I haven't really been using it that much. I've been reading the board posts here and there while at the office but it looks like I'm going to have to start sifting through them with more diligence. I did apply for the Capital One Venture card...but got declined due to lack of history.
