My analysis is that I can use my money back credit card instead of the store card and come out ahead on most accounts and most months. Based on this I am planning on dropping most if not all of the store credit cards and just use the money back card.

Thank you for your info and thoughts.
I'd be curious how dropping them all impacts your credit rating. I was always told credit, length of credit, and balance impact the rating, as well as too many credit cards impact it too.
