While one card doesn't do much harm to a credit score, it is something you have to consider. I always make sure to pick and choose whether or not it's worth it. For example, if I was planning to buy a new house soon, I would skip it. @ DSDM: I’ve often signed up for a card, used it to get the bonus, then canceled it (if there was an annual fee).

The thing is I don't need/want multiple credit cards, and isn't having too many cards a red flag that damages your credit score? And if I signed up for it, used it for a month, got my gift card, and then canceled the card, doesn't that hurt your score too?
