If I don't use my Victoria's Secret credit card will it make my credit bad?
I got a credit card from there because it saved me 10% on....something. : )

I thought it was just a discount card not a credit card. I doubt I'll use it that much.

According to FICO, it's generally recommended to have 3-5 credit cards and use the occasionally. That's exactly what you are doing, so it's not going to hurt your credit score. DO NOT cancel it.

Victoria's Secret? Hmm...we need pictures! Yeah, can't advise any more without pictures. ;)

If you have three major credit cards (VISA, MC) from different banks, then you don't need the Victoria Secret credit card. The store credit cards are not considered as important on your credit history as the major ones. If you don't need it, cancel it.

If you have too many cards, it will affect your credit scores. Ideally, do not have a balance. But if you do, do not have a balance more than 50% of the credit line of each card.

No.

no, doesn't affect your credit unless you use and AND then pay late.


sthorsen919
it'll actually help your credit if you don't carry a balance on it. If you don't pay it or pay late it'll hurt


kk
When looking at your credit rating, lenders will see what your available credit is, what your balances are, and your payment history. They also look for a mix of credit. If you have too many cards, or cards that are too new, it may lower your rating. If you keep the card for a while, and don't have more than about 2-3 other cards, it shouldn't hurt you. At this point, since you already have the card, you are probably better off keeping it unless you have more available credit than what you would be able to pay off.

Having a card you don't use does not count against your credit (assuming there is no annual fee, and your balance is entirely paid). No worries!

no, only if you don't pay it

nope, just having it won't hurt your credit.

If you don't pay off the bill, yes it will lower your credit score. If you don't use it it won't change a thing.


ninnapablo
Its not going to ruin your credit as long as you keep paying whatever you need every month. Actually, is you think you are responsible enough to make your payments before the limit day, its is good for your credit, it will grow

Store credit won't necessarily hurt your credit, but unless you use it and pay it off regularly, it won't help your credit. Store cards are seen as lower quality that major credit cards. Stores typically have lower credit approval standards than major cards. Pay it off and close the account.

nope it won't affect. just pay it off and the call to close the account.

open balances count against in case you want to buy a house, car etc.

if you dont use it, why have it.
