Help answer the question
How do I switch credit cards and not affect my credit score?
I want to get a frequent flyer credit card but I already have 3 credit cards with generous limits. I don't need these credit cards and I would like to cancel them and have this "possible credit" to go towards the new card. I heard once that canceling a credit card has a negitive effect on your credit score. Is this true? If so, how do I switch credit cards and avoid affecting my credit score in a bad way?

Is easy being responsible, I have 2 credit cards, recently applied for another one therefor cancelled one I had, because I have established myself that I won’t have more than two credit cards. In five years I am with them, I had only paid interest in 3 cycle periods, I am always looking forward to full pay my balance, even if I stay with little money after that, is so easy, I don’t know why is so hard for people to control them self with the use of credit cards. lol.

Yes, it is true. Having active credit cards on your record is no problem. It shows that card issuers are willing to extend credit. If these cards have no balance on them, you should have no trouble getting a new card. Apply and start using it.
If there are balances on your other cards, it is a different issue. You should pay them off, or transfer them to the card with the lowest interest rate and pay that off as quickly as possible. Then make sure you never have a balance on a card that exceeds about 30 percent of the credit limit.
Paying the monthly charges in full each month is the best policy. It also means not paying any interest.

I do not know of a single credit card that earns you interest on a credit balance. That doesn't mean there aren't any. Good luck finding one, but I'm not sure that will count a lot to establishing credit worthiness.
Before creditors lend money, they need to be assured that the funds will be repaid. In other words, is the prospective borrower creditworthy?
How to Establish Credit
Begin by opening individual savings and checking accounts in your name. Over time, your deposits, withdrawals, and transfers will demonstrate that you can handle money responsibly.
Applying for a loan is another option, but be aware that this method of establishing a credit history will cost, since loans require the payment of interest.
You could take out a bank loan secured by the funds you have on deposit or by items you own, such as a car. You could also ask a friend or relative who has good credit to cosign a loan, which means that he or she shares liability for the loan with you.
You could also apply for department store and gasoline credit cards, which generally are easier to obtain than major credit cards. Before you apply for any credit, however, make sure you understand the terms. For example, how long is the grace period or the time you have to pay the current balance in full before finance charges are added? Is there an annual fee or other fees associated with the credit? If you believe that you will carry a balance, you need to know how finance charges are calculated.
Patience is important in this process. It takes time to establish credit and build a record of consistency in making payments to demonstrate your creditworthiness. And it is much better to go slowly and develop a strong credit record than to apply for too many credit cards or a loan that is larger than you can handle.
Start slowly, be cautious, keep track of your overall debt, and pay on time. Most importantly, remember that credit actually represents real money and has to be repaid with interest.

If your breathing and sometimes even if your not they will send you a credit card. Credit cards are terrible. Sure you can buy stuff you can NOT afford and then HOPE you will find money to pay it back! But you won’t and they know it so they get rich and you get a slave collar. Just ask uncle sam how his credit problems are working for the USA. MY favorite part is the magic of building credit by spending yuor way into perpetual debt, LOL!

You could have 50 cards and as long as you kept them in good standing, low utilization, no lates, etc. they won't hurt your scores – you would take small dings for inquiries though.
If you are adding 3-4 cards, and you already have a good card portfolio that has fairly good history, the inquiry dings should be small. After 6 months the inq's will be less of a significance on your scores and at one year they will have no impact at all.
Available credit is not debt.
I can see only one card that you currently have that is probably keeping your scores from actually being higher than they are now. That would be the Cap One card.
Cap One is notorious for not reporting credit limits, they only report high balance – that makes it look like you are over utilizing the account.

People think once they screw up their own personal credit the next thing they can do is have a business and get credit that way but it doesn't work like that. Your personal social security number and credit rating are going to be used to extablish credit when you start out and even well beyond.

Reality is as a beginning business you are NOT going to go out and secure credit using an unknown/ unestablished business name or identifying number!

I would take out no more than 2. I would start out with a secured card. Granted you would have to put a deposit upfront to secure a line of credit, but the deposit would also garner interest while you're proving your creditworthiness. You could start out small, like $200-300 or larger like $1000-2000. Either way, I strongly suggest you to continue to use your debit card and pay cash like you've been doing, and make small purchases that you can pay off in full every month (around $20-50). I would only use the credit card in dire emergencies. After the secured card becomes unsecured, then you could receive offers for other cards, but chances are just the one card could work just as well. Be sure to dispute anything that was involved in the identity theft and make sure that you have a POLICE REPORT. Your "good accounts" (rental, club, cable, cell, etc.) CAN be reported through this reporting agency called PRBC. (http://prbc.com/default.php?) This is for REAL. You can have your good credit reported and complied in a scored report that can be considered with your traditional credit reports. It's become increasingly popular and I'm certain that it will help you out immensely.

It's not uncommon to have multiple bank accounts with different banks, from my past and current experience, I primarily do all my business with one bank if possible. I'm going to list the types of accounts that you should have in order to prepare yourself financially:
1. Checking account- This is the primary tool to not only monitor your finances, but to pay all your bills on time.
2. Savings account- This should be used as a primary reserve that should be used in the event of emergencies and as a backup reserve to your checking account.
3. Traditional/Roth IRA- This should be your primary retirement account. Anytime that you have a 401K,402g, or 403b plan, and plan to switch employers, this would be the account to move or "rollover" your retirement savings to.
Now as for credit cards, You should have 2 major credit cards and 1 department store card. Some people have more credit cards, but actually fewer cards established for a longer time, should be all that's necessary. The longer you establish credit by making payments on time and managing your available credit responsibly, the credit limit can and usually is increased to where that will be all you need. Some people have multiple credit cards for whatever reason, but the 2 most important things to remember when using them is to pay on time and manage your available credit.

Actually most of the companies allow you to apply online instantly. But you have to find the right card that you can apply for. To do this, goto the following site and find the card you want in student section and apply online. This site only has cards that you can apply and get a decision instantly. Good luck!

Keep it with a 0 balance. As long as it doesn't have an annual fee you aren't hurting yourself. Having more accounts (3-4 minimum, not more than 6-7 revolving accounts) helps you by giving a lender MORE evidence that you can manage your debts over a longer period of time. If a person has no late payments but only has one credit card with a 500 limit for the last 6 months – how do you know they are a good risk?
