You only use one card a month? Its pointless to have all those cards. If you have money you don't need them. You can still have excellent credit with 2-3 cards. |
I also only have one cc, and my credit score is 845. I can see 2 or 3 cc's but 12 seems crazy. |
Trashy af to have that many cards. |
It's relative. I'm the PP with the 840 credit score. When I look at my report and it makes suggestions to improve it literally says "open more accounts." Also 20 accounts isn't all cards. It's things like car loans or mortgages. We always take car loans with new cars, but pay them off immediately after 1 month of interest or at the end of a promo period. Why do this when you can pay cash? Because it builds positive credit. And then it sits on your report as an account, even when it's paid. |
If you have a long credit history and an installment loan (like a mortgage), adding more installment loans won't have a significant impact on your credit score. If you are doing this to take advantage of 0% financing, that makes sense, but not to increase your credit score. I am at the same score and have just a mortgage and had one student loan paid off over 10 years ago. Zero car loans ever. |
| Oh man, I couldn’t handle the stress of more than one or two cards. |
Do you ever wonder why no one likes you? It’s because you make every conversation political thinking you’re clever. Be better. |
+1 I don't think there is any amount of money that could compensate me enough for having 15 passwords and receiving 15 statements every month

Right? Who lives like that? If you have money you don't need that many cards! |
