No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I read on another site that you should have 3 cards and maybe 4 at the most.
They said store cards don't really matter with scores so you can have quite a few and that's fine.
Should I get rid of the capital one platinum and Hsbc platinum and just keep my Chase,Citi,USBank,and Discover more.
Chase is my oldest 8/2008
I have only had the cap one and Hsbc cards for 51/2 months 0% until April and may 2012. After may should I get rid of them? I don't have store cards.
I will close capital one and keep the rest. Thanks for the answer jamesdwl.
This article was discussed a bit this weekend, I don't really like it and feel some of the statements are borderline rather they would have a bad impact on someone. I have seen many members on this board have credit totally over their yearly income, some double and triple... even in these tougher credit markets with good scores and history is not that hard to obtain some serious credit and lines quickly and I don't see the downside if you are not running up debt.
If Capital One and HSBC cards don't have an AF then don't close them
I just realized that I read this on here earlier this morning, silly me,LOL.
I've been on quite a few sites today and I just didn't notice.
As long as they don't have an AF there is no reason to close them. The amount of creditors that will deny you for having to much available credit is extremely small.
