Ok, so canceling a card drops your score and raises your utilization. With no annual fee, why in the world would you cancel it? The amount of cards and total credit available will also raise your score.
1. It is easier to manage. For instance, I still have to log in the credit card accounts every month even though I don't use them at all. It is my responsibility to monitor them for any possible frauds. Having fewer cards will be easier to handle.
2. Most banks set a ceiling to grant a person credit in terms of credit line or number of cards. If I have too much credit from a bank, I will not be approved for next new card from them.
Of course, I only closed the newer cards, 1 - 2 years after the account opening.
One reason.
"Debt-to-income ratio"
If I have 4-5 credit cards with $10k limits each and only make $50k/yr, lenders may not approve you because you could easily go upside-down in debt. Especially a home loan. I've had probably 12+ cards, so my debt-to-income would be astronomical and nobody would approve me.

How would having more cards and more credit available raise your score but also make you a higher risk to a lender? Wouldn't a credit score matrix take all that into account and score you accordingly?
I'm not sure a D/I ratio takes into account the credit available. I believe it's what is actually owed (debt) and not credit limit.

Ideally, lenders target 35 to 40%. This is my situation because I have government job that doesn't pay the national average. Yay me!
But, if I have newer, more recent cards in my credit score, that drops the average life of my credit lines. I think I spoke about this early. If I have 1 card that is 15 years old, 2 that are 4 yrs, and 1 that is brand new, my average credit age is less than 6 years. That hurts your score. If I cancel the new card at 1 year, my other cards are now 1 @ 16 and 2 @ 5yrs. That average is 8.66 years. That could easily boost my score by around 10 points where I'm at now. I'm not sure what effect it would have on someone down in the 6 and 700s. I assume the effect would be amplified and might make a difference of 20-40 points.
Regular on everything else is it 1.5% or 1%?
Or would they do 2 hard pulls?
I've only had 2 card apps done in the last 24 (1 was last week), so I'd have to wait 30 days to avoid breaking the 2/30 rule, I'm sure.
But I'm still within the 5/24 rule.
Oldest card is 6 yrs, so avg time/history will take a big hit, but hard to pass up possibly $400 total sign up bonus.
