Re: Closing cards

Are the cards over 12 months old? If not, I'd let them continue to age. If they are, and you don't use them, close them.

But they age regardless of being open or closed. Closing has no impact on this/AAOA.

 

If you are saying to let them age being open purely so it doesn't appear someone is churning new accounts, then I see your point.

I was saying to let them age so that it doesn't look like churning. The AAoA issue doesn't matter to me, because they'll continue to age for 10 years.

Re: Closing cards

Hi guys, Thanks for all the response's. The problem I'm have is having to keep something I have no use for. I have applied and recieved much better cards on my journey. I'm old and probably won't be here in 10 years HAHAHA . I recieved increase's lately that make up for the loss. The interest rate on that card was rediculous and they would never budge, Not that I really cared because I always PIA. I did run alot of money thru it for awhile. But what if I couldn't for some reason.? 21.74 % is crazy on a NFL card  I had no use for except to repair my credit.
