Also, if you're like me, I have several credit cards, so I use the one the furthest away from the total credit available to make purchases for my deals or my personal life-- I used to always use the same card thinking it was a good habit to consolidate and for tax reporting, but it can hurt your credit.Hard inquiries vs. soft inquiries.
