If they are store credit cards and you are moving away from the area where the stores do not exist, then I would cancel one credit card every 6 months once you got the balance down to zero (if that applies to you), and that way you can spread it out.

Don%26#039;t cancel them, it doesn%26#039;t hurt you to hold onto to them for awhile....if you really want to cancel just do one at a time every 6 months or so.

Never use those damn store cards anyway. They are a scam that typically carry very high interest rates. Nothing you can buy with them that you cant get with a VISA. Close them out or you may have problems opening additional credit because of your %26quot;potential credit%26quot; still being open with those cards. For example, you try to open a VISA account. VISA won%26#039;t give you credit because you have open credit lines with 4 stores with a $5000 max total. VISA assumes that you WILL max out your potential credit when it decides how much (or if) you can have.

Credit cards are a great tool if used wisely. I buy virtually everything on credit, and pay the whole bill at the end of the month(every month). I never pay one cent of interest, and get the advantage of the float for the month and the miles/cash back rewards.

While you%26#039;re closing credit cards, call your other credit card companies and ask them to lower your interest rates. They might surprise you. They lowered mine.
