I recently switched banks. I had my first credit card with the previous bank for about 5-7 months before I switched to a new bank to join finances with my wife. If I transfer all my money and close out my old bank should I cancel my credit card? Or would that hurt my credit score? I haven’t used the card in a month or so
As long as there is no annual fee, I would put a reoccurring expense on the card and set the card to auto-pay in full. Then you will continue to have a long account tenure and have a high available balance. both will help your score.
If this is your only credit account, then you should keep it open. Use it every 6-12 months so that it stays open. If you’ve opened another credit card, or already have other credit accounts (like a car loan,etc.), then it doesn’t really matter. Opening and closing accounts is normal and has a minimal long-term effect on your credit score. If you’re planning to use your score soon for a major purchase, don’t make any changes to your report until you’ve done that.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
The very core of your writing while sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not really sit properly with me personally after some time. Somewhere throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a very short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in logic and you might do nicely to fill in all those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I will surely be impressed.
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
