I’m almost 19 years old and I have had a secured card for about 6 months, and I need more revolving credit. I applied for the Chase Freedom card but got turned down… What cards are good to build my credit for those who are starting out?

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?

Janie asked:


When I turned 18 I knew I needed credit cards to grow credit. When I reached the $500 limit on my first card and the $2000 limit on my new card when I found that this was not good for my credit. I hear that as long as you don’t spend more than half of the available balance your credit will be fine. Is this true?

I have been told that to make my credit score higher, I need to reduce my credit card debt to 40% of the limit of the card. I was told that the card debt only begins hurting you when you go above that 40% of the limit of the card.

I just read somewhere else that going above 20% begins to HURT your credit score. Which is it?

I have no credit card debt but a few credit cards that are open I never intend on using. Is there any way I can close these accounts without hurting my credit? I do not like the idea of having open credit card accounts, for fear of theft of these numbers.

What impact does closing credit cards have on your credit score?
I have a number of credits that I am not using. What impact if any would closing some of these accounts have on my credit score?
