Hi
I was playing with the myfico score simulator and was suprised when I selected "apply for and receive a new cc..." simulation, it actually RAISED my score. why is that? should I apply for qa card in real life?
currently my tu is 649, eq 629.
the simulation was with the TU.
the simulation showed me losing 10 pts with EQ
so what do you think?
Im an AU on my sisters card, and I have one of my own..low bal on both.
All the negs on my report stem from a divorce. they are all about 4 yrs old. no bk, no repo's, or anything like that. just had a collection come off which jumped my EQ to 649
"The minimum number of cards needed to get max points for #cards with balance is 3. "
does this mean 3 cards would be best?
It depends on what else you have on your file. If you have any installment loans, you'll need more CCs to offset them.

My simulations on the FICO Estimator, have shown FICO prefers 4 to 5 revolving accounts.
