Nah, there’s something else that’s triggering it. Average length of credit matters a lot, so if you cancel cards and get new ones frequently that would do it.

Long term debt for sure is good, carrying balances on cards is never rewarded.

The reason they’re OK extending credit when you have debt is because they can see you are managing it. Mortgage or auto loans (asset backed) aren’t bad. Don’t carry balances on cards ever if you can avoid it.

As another poster said, there’s probably no functional difference for you between 750 and 830.

An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you’ve picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

  • Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
  • Tips must provide some benefit to you.
  • Post titles must begin with “ULPT” or “ULPT Request”, and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
  • No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
  • No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.
