joey- even if you you dont keep those accounts active, just cut the cards up and let them be.

i have 15 accounts total, and 10 are still opened. i opened all those accounts because i was an idiot back then. i thought having credit was cool or some crap. but now, i tend to open cards that offers me 0% APR on balance transfer for X- amount of time just so i can pay off my debt slowly and not worry about paying interest. i dont know if there is a "con" side to doing this though.
