credit cards
hyphymane88 asked:


I currently have 3 credit cards. A capital one, gap and just opened a citi bank a month and a half ago. I currently have a score at 684 and have had my capital one open for 2 years now. I am 21 but I want to make my score higher. I pay the cards off in full all the time but is one more card too many? will that affect my score if I have 4 or 5 cards?

    Stay where your at…Use each card each month and do like your doing by paying it off each month…more cards do not equal a better score…

    2 credit card at less than half balance and you pay more than the minimum amount and that will improve your score having or requesting to much credit makes creditors believe you are stretching your resources to far and you are undependable with money so so buy low pay high my friend

    The number of cards its the history the three cards its the number of cards you build credit cardss and pay them in full every month that will build credit for the number of credit over years not months.
    For the longer the number of cards its the longer the three cards you build credit over years not months.
