it may have an impact with the company you had a card with - if you get a card, then close it in under a year, it may affect future apps with them - or CLI's on other cards you have with that company
so it is really just that company relationship that you want to keep - nothing to do with scoring
LOL, I guess that's why they sent me a Quicksilver card with a $3,000 limit six months to the day after I closed their secured card with only a $1,000 limit.
Chapter 13:
I categorically refuse to do AZEO!
@Horseshoez I was just trying to help - that is why i put 'may' in the statement
it's all good - you go with whatever plan works for you
I hope you did not cancel the Discover card. Even tho it's a low limit right now the history and future excellent payment history will be good for your score. Just throw Netflix on it or something and set it for autopay.
I also started out with the $200 secured limit in 2014. It took 6 YEARS for my card to graduate. Only received $800 CLI upon graduation. Requested CLI back in July denied. Tried again in Aug after reports updated $1500 CLI. I had the funds to increase the CL over the years but I focused those funds on other cards with bigger limits. Now I have a card that has 7 years of on time payment history. App'd for another Discover IT this month received $4,000 SL. I plan on combining the credit limits. I couldn't fault Discover for not graduating me sooner or giving my a higher CLI at graduation because of the choices I made as a result of my credit profile. Since my credit profile has improved I've received $20k SL.

You're right about this. It obviously would depend solely on the bank, but I have read in different threads that Chase is one that does not like it when people pull this stunt.
