I used to collect credit cards, but stopped a while ago, aside from applying for a card or two a couple of times a year. There was a variety of reasons I stopped (mainly to have a clean credit record when I bought a house, plus I started to open myself up to identity theft, in which I had a couple of incidents). But I have close to 500 cards, most all are closed from inactivity. As far as what I carry in my wallet at any given time, it's only about 5 cards, including my Citibank AAdvantage MasterCard.
