>I don't see how this could fail.

I do. Do you know what a credit rating is? I do..
I've had quite a bit of experience in that area
recently, what with purchasing both a new car
and a house within the span of three months.

More than likely, you wouldn't be able to get
that many credit cards... after the first few, the
credit card companies would see what you're
doing on your credit report and would start
turning you down for new ones. Even if you did
manage to get enough credit cards to pull off
your scheme, it would most likely wreak havoc
on your credit rating, and you don't want to do
that if someday in the future you think you
might want to make some hefty purchases
that require credit, like a new car or a house.

reports from henceforth - $27 is a small price
