Generally it's a good idea to only have 3 credit cards and use them responsibly and pay them off on time to help build your credit.
If you have more credit cards and use them without being able pay them off then that can lower your credit score.
Having accounts open with a credit card company will not hurt your credit score, but having zero balances will not prove to lenders that you are creditworthy and will repay a loan.
Lenders want to make sure you repay, and that you will also pay interest.
There is no ideal number of credit cards you can own.
You can own as many credit cards as you want as long as you are eligible for it.
However, having multiple line of credit can make you look like a desperate borrower and increases the overall available credit.
