I can't remember if the stickers were on or not. I definitely got the ones that were in my wallet. I think my back may straighten a little after taking 1/2" of credit cards out of my wallet. The rest just sat on my desk their whole lives. This really helped me make my move to pay down cards permanent, but now I have quite the mess to clean up on my credit report. I still have active accounts with so many places that need to just get removed, but I want to be careful how I go about doing that as to not screw up my FICO too much. So far I've just managed to get all the balances transfered to just a few of them.

And actually there were even more cards that I cut up on an earlier day that got thrown away back then so thats not even all of them. Yikes huh!!! Congrats to everyone!!!
