    I think that is way too many. just a few every six months or so (i think) is what they like best.

    You have too many searches. CRA's show this to lenders and lenders will usually reject if more than 6 searches in last 6 months. Just chill for 6mths then apply for 2 or 3 accounts.... 5maximum in any 6 month period.
