This is my first post, and I've got a pretty good question for you all. I currently have 2 Cap One cards, one has a $500 CL (with $49 ann fee), the other $750. 14.9% on the $500, recently reduced 8.9% on the $750. I called to have the higher % reduced and to have the Ann Fee removed, I was offered to combine the two CLs and take the lower %, which would close the card with the Ann Fee. I've never heard of this and was curious what this might do to my credit. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!!!
Yeah, I'd go for it...we combined 3 cards into 1 on my mother's account, choosing the best rate and one of the no-fees cards...sounds like a good deal to me.

Take the deal. Your overall CL will be the same. If there's even a modestbalance riding on the CC that will close, and that's moving to the CC that will remain open, you could see a small increase in your FICO scores.
Actually at this point they are both at $0, I was recently able to apply for,and get approved for, a LOC with BoA with a co-signer to consolidate all of my high interest CC's.
