A person cannot have too many credit cards. They will only damage your credit score if you have balances on them that you tend to forget to pay on time and in full. However, it is not ideal to have too many credit cards especially now that cases of identity theft are increasing. If you wish to close some of them, make sure that you close the ones which have the lowest credit limit and the shortest credit history so that they will not negatively affect your credit score.
