Nouncredit cards pl.
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A credit card is part of a system of payments named after the small plastic card issued to users of the system. It is a card entitling its holder to buy goods and services based on the holder's promise to pay for these goods and services. The issuer of the card grants a line of credit to the consumer (or the user) from which the user can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance to the user. A credit card is different from a charge card, where a charge card requires the balance to be paid in full each month. In contrast, credit cards allow the consumers to 'revolve' their balance, at the cost of having interest charged. Most credit cards are issued by local banks or credit unions, and are the shape and size specified by the ISO/IEC 7810 standard as ID-1. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have zero debt. I also have several credit cards. I am wondering how it will affect my credit to request the highest limit for each card, or if I should cancel all but 2 and have those with high spending limits. Along the same lines, how does "available" credit affect one's credit score negatively or positively? If I get a $50,000 limit on a card (with 0 balance) but say, go to buy a car, will I be denied because I have too much credit out there? Asked by shooter 1 - Thu Jan 10 15:02:37 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. It's better for your credit to have several cards with modern limit, as the FICO formula used by the credit bureaus consider the number of credit lines in good credit (by their type, e.g. revolving credit, installment loans etc). A lower number of credit lines will result in a lower score (since you'll have more limited history). Obviously that assume all of them are in good standing - if they're not, the picture changes dramatically. As to the total credit, what they look at is which percenage of your total credit are you using, and for that it's irrelevant how it's distributed between the credit lines.

I've opened a few credit cards lately, but don't plan on using them, only for emergencies. Will just having 4 or 5 credit cars available for my use somehow hurt my credit score, or credit in general for future loans I might want? Asked by Doug G - Mon Sep 17 21:20:05 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. earth angel is completely false. never close an account because you dont use it. That will hurt you in 2 ways. The ratio of your total balances to your total credit limit makes up 30% of your score. For example if you have 2 credit cards with $5000 limits and you have a $2500 balance on each and also have two unused accounts with $5000 limits then you are using $5000 of your $2000 or more importantly 25% of your total available credit. Now if you close the two unused accounts then you only have $1000 of available credit and still have a total balance of $5000 so you are now using 50% of your total credit limit instead of 25%. This will drastacally hurt your score. Even if you have low balances closing accounts will still hurt your… [cont.] Answered by Scott F - Mon Sep 17 22:18:31 2007 What credit cards allow you to add an Authorized User WITHOUT requiring their social security number?
Q. Both personal and small business credit cards would be helpful. Thanks! I know through personal experience that American Express DOES require a SS# when adding additional cardholders (at least for personal cards), and that Advanta does NOT require a SS# when adding additional cardholders. Personal experience with additional issuers would be helpful. Please provide specific credit card issuers. Thanks! Asked by Richard - Fri May 1 18:46:49 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. As far as I know, most credit cards allow you to add an authorized user without a social security number.
