Credit Mix Question

I recently became a member of NFCU and they gave me a pretty decent SL with their lowest interest rate on the more rewards card.

 

I have a 4 credit cards, a mortgage, and a student loan.

 

I paid off my car loans in 2018 and 2020.

 

Would a SSL through Navy help my score at all, or do the mortgage and student loans already count?

Mortgage and student loans count, an SSL will not help your scores

No, you're solid on the open installment loan(s). The SSL would be redundant to your needs.
