[19:02] IsambardPrince I canceled four credit cards yesterday. [19:02] IsambardPrince Opened one this week. [19:02] IsambardPrince I'm pruning older ones that I don't use that much. [19:03] IsambardPrince I still have enough total limits that it won't meaningfully impact my utilization ratio. [19:03] IsambardPrince But it shows that I am actively managing/consolidating. [19:04] IsambardPrince It's less risky to have fewer credit cards in the eyes of creditors. The ideal is to close accounts with smaller limits, less attractive benefits, or rarely used. [19:04] IsambardPrince That gets your number of open accounts down without impacting your utilization that much. [19:04] MinceR yeah, i wouldn't want to have credit cards in my eyes either [19:05] IsambardPrince If you have four credit cards with a combined limit of $10,000 that's perceived as riskier than one credit card with a $10,000 limit, for example. [19:05] IsambardPrince Because you'll trigger the "too many open accounts" flag even though it's the same total limit. [19:06] IsambardPrince There's actually a FICO Negative Reason Code that goes something like "existing limits on bank cards too low". [19:06] IsambardPrince And that's exactly what it sounds like. [19:06] IsambardPrince Having lots of credit cards open with limits below about $5,000 is interpreted as a risk signal. [19:07] IsambardPrince So basically, getting to $50,000 available credit with 3-4 cards is better than doing the same with like 8-9 cards.
