CREDIT ONE CLOSED. What's next?

I have been delaying FOREVER to close this card because I had it for 2 years and perfect payment. This card and DISCOVER IT were two of my rebuilding cards for the past 2 years. A year later it was a perfect timing to expand my credit profile so I went for

 

AMEX BLUE CASH EVERYDAY - $8,000 (currently use for groceries etc)

CHASE FREEDOM UNLIMITED - $4,000 (currently use for Lyft etc)

CAPITALONE QUICKSILVER - $6,100 (currently use for traveling etc)

Disover It is also at $3,500 (for whatever)

which totals my credit to $26,000 which I'd like it higher lol

 

I have no collections, 3 inquiries (will fall over a year later)

Unsecured Loan from Affirm which I paid off just so I can have a credit mix

2 Closed Account from Credit One & Chase Slate (closed 3 years ago cause I didn't have enough credit history)

 

EXPERIAN - 734 dropped 23 pts

EQUIFAX - 742 dropped 22

TRANSUNION - 749 dropped 12

 

NO LATE PAYMENTS, ALL ACCOUNTS IN HEALTHY STANDING!!!

 

Guessing the drops are from Credit One closing and all accounts are reported 0. Tomorrow Discover will report 1...I know AZEO method lol so I will definitely get a nice little bump tomorrow!!

So what's next? Should I apply for another card? I'm in good standing and proud of where I am so give me advice and tips guys Smiley Happy

Congrats on your achievements so far! Real nice scores. If like you said you want to increase your cl another card wouldn't hurt if cli is not available on present cards.

 

Out of curiosity did Creditone offer you anything to keep the account open? (They usually have been known to do that).

Congrats! I'd suggest kicking back in the garden. Let your newer accounts age some. Gain back some points.

With the info you provided, closing the Credit One shouldn't have any immediate impact on your scores.  You'll certainly gain points back when all of your accounts are not reporting 0.  Let us know the results when the Discover reports a balance.

Yes. They have when I wanted to closed the account in the past. They would extend the fee for 3 months. That's about it. This time when I called the lady didn't offered anything which was good. Everything just went straight to the point lol

 

I can also confirmed that I gained my lost points back when Disover got reported haha. All seems well so far.

I'll like just one more card. JUST ONE lol but I mean 4 is good but mmm maybe idk haha
