I had two cards, one at the time at 6 years, the other at two. credit score from FICO showed an "average age" of 4 years.


canceled the second, "average age" went up to 6.


score went up. (mind you I didn't / don't carry a balance, nobody should)


information based not on a myriad of opinions out of netland but personal, real experience.


just sayin.
