How many CC after BK

Trying to get a "feel" of how many credit cards you opened to satisfy the "revolving" credit portion on your credit report.  I realize that DTI is a factor, but I have no desire to get 5+ cards. I thinking on having 3 cards and using the AZEO method seems to be my best option...your thoughts?

Re: How many CC after BK

The folks who've studied FICO scoring say three non-store cards is the threshold for maximum scoring.  When my bankruptcy fell off my reports I only had three cards, all of which were between one and two years old, and my scores all shot up into the 800s.

I categorically refuse to do AZEO!
