Multiple Credit Cards

Checked my credit history recently when Tesco made a mistake with my bill and I didnt want it to show up on my credit file as a black mark.

Problem is it reminded me how credit cards Ive had over the years!!

Ive never really had any substantial amounts on the cards, I mainly sign up to them for the perks. Over the last 5 years though I must have had over 20 cards (at least).

Theres many cards Ive had more than once too! Im now on my second AMEX and Amazon cards purely for the cashback!! Ive had 4 or 5 Halifax ones too.

Is this hurting my credit rating?
