I have three credit cards but only use one, and pay it off in full every month. I am planning on making a big purchase at Best Buy and can save a lot of money if I open a credit card with the purchase. (I believe like 20% which would be almost $150). I would never use that card again.

how much you owe/ total credit , so in that case having more cards would be better. I have 7 cards and I only use 2 of them. Should I cancel my other cards?
