Are there any negative consequences to signingup for a credit card and then closing the account right away?

abcdefghijk asked:


I keep seeing people on campus offering free stuff like pizza, hats T-shirts bags etc for sining up. People sign up and then close the account when the card comes in the mail, or they just fake the application. Are there any negative consequences of doing this?
