I am looking for a credit card with no monthly/yearly fee. I don’t intend to use it, it is purely to enhance my credit score. Is this a good idea?
Hi D.G,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well for you. :)
It is worth noting that every time you open a new credit card account, it could cost a few credit score points. Thus, the mere action of opening one can affect your score.
If you don’t intend to use it and you consistently have a zero balance, there’s a chance that your issuer will stop reporting to the credit bureau or worse, close the account. So, in this case, it won’t improve your score and worse, it might even decrease it.
To improve your credit score, you may do the following:
– Order a copy of your credit report. Request a free credit report from the major bureaus to stay on top of making sure that lenders see only the most accurate picture of your financial health. Confirm that your personal information, employment data, open accounts and balances and other financial details are current and accurate. If you discover any errors, dispute them with the three credit bureaus and the provider that reported them.
– Pay down your credit card accounts. Your overall credit score is determined by many variables, including your credit utilization rate. To indicate to lenders that you’re a responsible borrower, only carry a balance with a utilization of 30% or less. For example, if your credit limit is $1,000, keep your balance below $300, which is 30% of your limit.
– Don’t attempt to open new accounts until your score improves. Every time you apply for credit, it’s listed on your credit report and pulls down your score. By waiting, you can take advantage of better interest rates.
– Avoid hastily closing unused accounts. While this sounds like a good strategy in theory, having only newer accounts will result in a lower score. Lenders want to see a long history of credit in your report.
