Obtaining more credit with a new card

[nb11tk]

Im have been fixing my credit in the past couple of years. I managed to get it to 685 from 526

I have 2 credit cards and 1 secure card.

The secured Capital one card i got first couple of years ago (my first card in years), then about 8 months ago i applied and opend Credit one bank credit card with $250 limit (which went up to $500 credit limit since)

Few months ago i opened a Discover card with $8000 limit.

I would like to obtain more credit, so i was wondering:

Should i close the Credit one card and try to apply for a better card? Will closing a  credit card hurt me although i have it only for this short time?

Thanks for the help guys.....

With you only having it for 8 months, but your first CC you've had for a few years, I don't think it would hurt your AAoA that bad. But honestly, I would take the hit even if it did to get rid of Credit One.

I would also take a look at AMEX. AMEX is a great card to get.

I would close Credit one as someone stated it will report positive up to ten years. Amex would be a good choice as any other AMEX in the future would be backdated. Also check Chase pre-qualify the are pretty rock solid.

Good Luck!
