Does getting a new credit card to take advantage of their promotion and then closing it later, affect credit history?

Yes but minimally.. I just wouldn't do a bunch of them before buying a home

Already have a home :)

Yeah you should be fine. I've been trying to use all the home stuff we need to buy as a way to get all the different cc bonuses. My current one right now is using 2 Southwest credit cards to get companion pass as I haven't been traveling much for work lately.

from what i’ve read, the act of closing a credit card does not in and of itself impact your credit history.

however, if by closing your credit card, you 1) lower your available credit or 2) decrease your available lines of credit such that you are put in a different tier of credit lines (e.g if you have 11 cards and you close one, not a big deal, but if you have 2 and you close one, bigger deal), that’s where the impact on credit score comes in.

fwiw, i closed my united mileageplus card and chase offered to transfer my credit limit to my CSR, so i recommend having at least one other card with the same bank so that you can mitigate #1

Hello Fishes,
Is there any chance of renegotiation of offered CTC in fidelity on already accepted offer. I have joining in mid November and recently got a higher offer from another company.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
