pinkandgrey ... congrats! Also, you may experience card withdrawal so resist the temptation as you kicked some good cards to the side. Again, nice work and now you can help me loose some more cards. Cut eight cards a couple of years ago and lost some credit limits but, it got to be too much and I do not have the spend or need! Smiley Happy

Thats a tuff decision but most important is how you feel. We can always find value in our cards so eventuslly closing one will hurt but eventually youll be good.

I really want to get to just a few as using one would be ideal , since im a poor LIEr, oops maybe i should have told you im poor before asking for your handSmiley Wink.

If uou need anymore evidence that 3 is the magic number just count this...AJC🙂

Hey there is always Cubic Zirconium for the ring!  Pink won't accept anything but a nice diamond when we all know you have a Zales card.

Oh I didn’t know about the Zales card. AJC, this will never work if you’re not upfront with me.

Re: I finally did it. CC closures

Hah congrats pinkandgrey!

I was on the fence about closing some cards cause frankly I really only need two (though I have two others which are getting used some still not including minimal recurring charges on others).

Then I found I had to literally get all my credit cards at zero except one to optimize my EX mortgage score with two open installment loans and I suspect it may be the same on EQ/TU which are dirty and meh... 20% is an annoying line to hit if that holds up in future testing.

FICO optimization for me > closing some credit cards that have been idle so long I don’t know if I can find them right now haha.

Now my card catalogue consists of my Disco, my Amex, and my Citi DC. My so-desired 3 card life has been achieved.

 

 I really want to grow my DC, so no new accounts for me. 


Hey there, really cool.....hopefully your strategy pays off quickly.  I don't blame you, once I get a couple of cards with decent limits I'll trim the fat too.  Good Luck!!!!
