Foolish young fool!
Many moon ago was I was 22 years old I got a Capital One card in the mail. It was for a 500 limit..I maxed it out in 3-4 days buying munchies, pills,weed and gambling what cash I could get advanced, thinking to myself tra la la la la that I would never pay them a dime back and get away scott free!..Well years later realizing the importance of good credit I applied for credit all over..Everyone told me.."no credit for you, you serious delinquency, you collection, you no good!..
I realized I has screwed myself in the ass by not paying Cap One...I called them but the account had long not existed and gone to a collection agency
23 years later I sad to say have over 20 major and store CC cards..Its fun to be approved instantly on line and I have picked up 3-4 per year lately..It does not matter how many you have as long as you owe less than 30% the limit and your debt to income ratio is good..
I actually have an old Aspen, Aspire and a Tribute card among them..I think they are all linked together..To the best of my knowledge, Aspen and or Aspire do not even have a web site you can maneuver your accounts so I have always considered them bush league..Why hell, their cards are so shitty they dont even work at SBs lol-Menace
