I once was able to get 2 cards at once but that seems to be no longer. I also had 3 cards opened at one time with a total credit limit of nearly $20k across them. I closed out 2 of the 3 cards a few months ago with the expectation of opening another card this month. I lowered the credit limit down to the lowest possible, $5k. I learned this from a phone call with BofA. Last week I applied for a card and was denied, letter said I had maxed out my available credit. hmmmm.

This morning I closed my last card. Set a reminder to apply again next month. Waiting is nail bitter!
