How can combining credit cards affect my credit score?

I have two credit cards with only a $750 credit limit.  Both cards have less than $200 charged on the cards.  I want to combine them into one. Moving one into the cash back card.  Will that hurt my score of will it help?

Re: How can combining credit cards affect my credit score?

The folks here need to know how many cards you have total, and also what your total credit limit is.

 

You may be telling us that these two cards are the only cards you have -- but it's hard to be certain that this what you mean.

 

If those are your only two cards, what you describe would be a bad move.
