Opened Credit Cards Christmas Discounts Close Them Hurt Credit Score

 I found myself into opening a credit cards around Christmas when offered 10 to 30 % discount. Being that I know I won’t use them, I feel I need to close them and kick the habit of opening new ones.
Will it hurt my credit if I close these credit cards?
I do have a visa that I only keep for emergencies, which happens to be with the credit union I bank with and I do use off & on when I order on line. That’s the only one I would like to keep.
—————————
Yes it will hurt your credit report and credit score
Keep your credit cards open but don’t use them much
You will need to use them once every three 3 to four 4 months to keep a good rating and stay in good standing with the credit card company.
Just charge a small amount and pay it off every.
But whatever you do, do not close those credit cards.
