I am so sad right now…

There is absolutely nothing I can do to boost my FICO score :(  I am being dinged for Length of History / AAoA.  Below is my profile: 3.3yrs Oldest Account 1.8yrs AAoA, which is rounded down to 1.  ( Will be 1.7 once new Amex reports ) Overall utilization 2% Highest Individuel Utilization 6% 3 Account reporting a balance ( have a total of 13 accounts ) Mix of credit is good ( 1 mortgage open, 1 auto loan open, credit and store cards open ) 1 Inquiry reporting on Equifax in last 12 months 0 Inquiry reporting on Tranunion in last 12 months All I can do is let everything age... Anyone want to add me as an AU on their Amex that was opened in 1990? :smileyvery-happy:

Which Macy’s to pay?

Macys Store - 2k Macys Amex - 10k I'm using easy round numbers, they are not exact but anyway.... Think I'm going to have 6k to pay towards. I know a lot of people have talked about huge score drops with store card reporting any balance now that CL are not reporting, but I honestly don't believe I am taking any hits.  There is a very good chance that as soon as I make the payment on the Amex they will CLD so not sure I will see point gains for either choice.

The balance on the card is 9K with a CL of 12.8K

Credit score for Canadian

Hi,   I'm a Canadian resident but I also live in the states and have an address in new York..... I was issued a credit card and I have personal banking accounts as well in the states but was not sure if having a credit card would give me a credit history in America..... when I got my amex they told me that they would use my drivers license number since I don't have an American ssn but I don't know if that is something fico tracks or do you only track credit for people that you have their ssn   thank you

Amex High Yield Savings

Do they pull your credit for the Amex High Yield Savings account (not the card associated but JUST the savings account)? I notice they ask for your SSN so I assume they do, but just want to be sure. Thanks

Should I apply ?

Hello,   I currently am looking to refi my Jeep with my current lender Chase. I'm also looking to appy for the Discover More card, I keep getting pre-approved letters and the expiration date is 3/31 to sign up for the promotional offer.  I have an overall utilization of 10%, however I have a $477 bal on a 600 cl. I paid it a few weeks ago but I'm waiting for Orchard to update my credit report before applying for another card or my refi.
