$8,000 used of $25,000 total. Now that I've looked at the numbers again, it looks like I'm closer to 30% than 35%, but my concern obviously remains.

As for getting new cards, I've gotten two in the past 9 months or so, so I don't want to get too crazy.

ETA: no, I don't know my scores, though I check my report yearly. I can say that credit.com has me estimated between 730 and 740, for what that's worth.

Not saying you should or shouldn't do this, but I got 7 in 13 months.

I think you're alright.

It's worth the $60 or so to go to myfico every once in a while and pull all 3. That way you know for sure.

But it sounds like you're just fine if you're in the 730 range.
