you should never close your oldest accounts unless they are costing you money. i just closed my oldest account because it was costing me $200 a year. i only closed once i got the chase slate and amex zync.

Capital One and a crazy limit of $375 three years old, I called them today and they told me they don't like to give out money. They did not say that but you know that. I like a "very conservative lender" but you approve apps with people at 550 credit scores and outer bank say no less then a 690 FICO to have an account.

what do you mean no less then a 690 score what bank are you talking about. zync is known to be one of the eaiser amex cards to get but remeber its a charge card and not a credit card and must be paid in full everymonth. yes amex is very conservative to thier credit cards but not as much as to thier charge cards. i had a score of 680 with 3 baddies and a CO and i still got the zync
