I was thinking of cancelling two cards that are now a year old and are no longer being used - I know everyone says not to do that but at this point most of my open accounts were opened between this time last year and today. I was thinking it shouldn't have too much of an impact on my score; I will always keep my oldest card open.
If there are no annual fees on those cards, don't close the accounts. I have
about 23 cards open. For the non-AF cards, I make a small purchase (usually
$1 gift reload on Amazon) every 6 months so the bank won't close the card
due to non-use. This helps my average age of accounts.
Put all your cards on a spreadsheet to track them: last 4 digits of the account,
application date, cancel date (if AF applies), minimum spend due date, etc.
There no point in travel hacking if you don't keep things organized.

Good luck!
