Will being added as an authorized user on my spouse's AMEX help my credit score?

Thanks! I applied and was approved for the Amex Blue Cash Everyday Card. 

I am working on keeping my utilization low. Should I cancel my other lower tier cards now? How do these impact your credit score when you don't have a major credit card? My credit age would decrease by 8 months if I close this card. Not sure how detrimental that is.

Congratulations on your approval!
