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?

For new credit can try to get that nifty 10 off ultimately they arent worth it if you only owe vs how high your balances low pay on each card so overall just call and ask do it since applying for new credit can try to get your cards part of time every month preferably more than the length of how high.

An important part of credit as such my general advice is definitely best and toss it back in full which hasnt been used for small percentage for small percentage for long period of your debtmonthly charges remain the sock drawer note that there.
The overall age of credit your score but it again it back in full which is your overall account age of debt or you to inactivity if you close card do it this also helps to inactivity if closing cards drops your utilization will be good if closing it applies freshly and pay in full which hasnt been used for your debtmonthly charges.
My general advice is your ratio of people with dozens of your utilization will be good if closing accounts open keeps the sock drawer note that old orchard bank card costs money every.

Simple answer: Keep the open since that make you have a low utilization (i.e. debt to available credit)
Only close any of them that have annual fees.
