How long does a closed account affect my credit score?

Should I close my newest credit card first?

Absolutely—minimizes history damage while tackling utilization. Calculate impacts first to confirm.

Can I avoid the score drop from closing?

Pay down debt, hike other limits, or downgrade—keeps available credit steady. Tools like Credit Booster AI predict and prevent big hits.

What if my card has an annual fee—close it?

Yes, if fees > benefits and utilization stays low post-close. Newer cards are safest; negotiate waivers first.

Does closing one card ruin my credit mix?
