salena asked:


I want to get a frequent flyer credit card but I already have 3 credit cards with generous limits. I don’t need these credit cards and I would like to cancel them and have this “possible credit” to go towards the new card. I heard once that canceling a credit card has a negitive effect on your credit score. Is this true? If so, how do I switch credit cards and avoid affecting my credit score in a bad way?

What Will Canceling Credit Cards Do To My Credit Score?

ExpertRealEstateTips asked:


Which credit cards should you cancel to have the least negative impact on your credit score? Canceling old credit cards that you don’t use anymore shouldn’t have too much of an effect on your credit score as long as the remaining cards are kept to a balance below 50% of your available credit. Your credit score will be higher if you are using and repaying credit, rather than just holding onto some old credit cards.
